Excellent performance. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the dynamics and warmth of the sound of your group. Excellent balance in the the pizz vs solo and tremolo vs melody. Well done

One of my classes did this for competition, unfortunately the judges were very exhausted and just got out of the pandemic, and just scored us a 2, wish the score was better. They still played amazing though!

Definitely hear you, but congrats on performing, especially as we all work to come out of the pandemic. Not easy! Happy for you, and congrats again!
