This piece is very very creative. The audio collage of notes is a great idea. It really gives you the broad spectrum of issues, challenges, and goings-on youth go through, especially in high school. You definitely have creative license, but anyone who doesn’t read the description won’t know that it’s just people reading notes. This could get confusing and lose listeners. The ambient sound and music track added a nice touch and so I definitely felt like I was back at my high school. Keep up the excellent work!!!
This is very close to being the realization of a really good idea. I understand that the problem is: You have work with what you have -- they can't make up additional stuff that wasn't in the trash. So it's not their fault when this becomes a bit too jumbled. Overall, it's short enough that it's not a problem that it only comes close to being exactly what it wanted to be. It's a great idea. I give them credit for coming up with it. And, as I say, they almost get it right. Oh, and the music's too loud.
Oh man, this piece is completley awesome. The little bits and pieces in this piece are simple and capture exactly a sample of how high school really is. Also some of the snippets just make you think, and you can totally picture some of the people in your head. All the bits were read so well, and the music was really good too. Thumbs up.
