Hi all SOFT ppl, I'm doing a little survey here. So here's the deal, the reason why Innova JC's Musicians' Club (Yes it is a CCA) has considered the possibility of this project is because too often enough we see band competitions whereby all the different genres are simply chucked into one entire genre dat we all loosely know..as rock..:S which to me, is purely unfair. Because i think practically as we know, if a band competition's main judging criteria is technique, chances are..i'm not sayin confirmed..that metal bands stand at an advantage. Or if its about vocal quality, then (even though i think metal singers are seriously darn good to b able to sing at such high pitches they sound like someone g-clamped them down under..) the pop rock bands have the edge..(provided the singer is good) So the main focus of this band competition we are coming up with, is to divide the competition into genres. That way, we have a band competition that celebrates all the different genres that come together to what we would call band music.
So, here are the questions we would like you to answer:
1. What genres should it be split into?
(Currently, we have metal, punk, pop rock, all others.)
2. What prize money would be acceptable?
(Would a 10 percent of fees collected b good? or a fixed prize money of say $1000 be too little? Because we haf a limited budget at stake..)
3. Should we restrict this to strictly sec schs, jcs and polytechnics or open it up to basically everione?
( We also consider the possibility of spliting into open n youth categories)
4. Lastly, this is important. Would it be offensive or really turn you off if we have 4 students (who have won a national songwriting competition each to be the judges?) If so, who do u suggest can be our judges? (Specific names are welcomed) People who have the credentials are also encouraged to send me a message here to express ur interest.
Notes: As a point to note for question 4, please understand that we hope to only use de judges for de preliminaries. In the actual finals, we hope to open it to the masses and have a voting system arranged.
Thank you very much for your kind attention for reading my incredibly long post. Haha..
Any other questions can be addressed to me through this forum page too..or u can send me a message rite here. Once all de info has been collated, I'll do another posting on everione's collated views b4 eventually launching de project. Also, i shall post mi handphone no. on de next posting i do so that any other questions can be directed directly to me. Thank you very much. Do tell me if i left anything out.
