Music playing test

Hey everyone,
OK so some time ago I had to do a performing test for music class. I was in a group of 5 people and we had to play 'funkytown'. It was very interesting, because I have never played a piece of music togheter with a group. It didn't went really well because of that reason but we did get an 8/10 for our performance. It was also nice to see other people in my music class, who are really good musicians, play in their very own way. We had to judge each other for the grades and this made me look totally different at the music. I had to really be objective to people and try to see what was good and bad about the piece they performed. I found it really nice though that we could grade each others ourselves because in the end it gives a much more objective grade. Normally only one person, the teacher, would grade it but music can be liked or disliked personally for many reasons.I doubt though that everyone was really fair in grading. Overall all the grades were really high and I think that is due to the fact that nobody wants to hurt anyone. Giving a friend a bad grade isn't really nice. It was easier though to grade as a complete rubric was given to us in advance, so we could look exactly what level a certain group had reached.
See you later!
