July Competition

Not to be bitter:

IMO, JG shoulda had that one hands down, especially considering #1. Maybe I'm prejudiced against polka music, but I'd never program that winning piece into a brass choir concert set. It's far too repetitive and has none of the fun cornet and baritone flash and trash that the old brass bands are known for, what makes them fun to listen to.

Congrats, anyway. To all. :) Thanks, Imp, for putting on the competition and getting it closed promptly!

Thanks for the comp! I didn't win, but it served as inspiration for helping me make one of my favorite pieces so far :lol:

Hey Guys,

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was wondering how phrey got more than 160 points? I thought no score meant no points in that category? that means that the max rating without score is 160 (200-40), right? I don't want to be hateful or anything, but I just noticed it and wanted to point it out.

@ Peter: this competition made me make a piece I actually like quite a lot too, so I think this has been great for all of us, thanks again for the nice competition :)

It's out of 250 - five judges.

ah ok :D I only saw 4 judges in the opening post, that's why ^_^. But now I am guessing where we all lost so many points on :P

I forgot Jason as one of the judges, my apologies!

How could have forgotten me!!!

lol

Oh wow! Did not expect that! :phones: yaaaaay!

Nice job everyone else too! All of them were great!

Oh and I just wanted to point out (and I mean this without offense to anyone or anything like that) but i noticed the repetition bit... Polkas tend to be a bit repetetive in general... it's just the nature of that style. At least in my experience it is...

Congrats to Jimmy! Thanks for the review, I might try fleshing it out sometime later to make a full-blown piece... doubtful, though.
