Sobriety Congratulations Cards

Aavaan and Evelyn Kryger win Creole Lower Saxony and Bremen

It was for the ten bands that occurred during the preliminary Creole for Lower Saxony and Bremen on Friday (bands 1-5) and Saturday (6-10) were two prices. A panel of scientists, musicians, music journalists and broadcasters should a list of criteria to select the two band that should go to Berlin as the national championships. Here in Hanover, there was already a certificate and a cash prize.
Visitors should be awarded the audience award. Therefore, the "modern" technology bemüht.Wie for American Idol and other shows running on television in each band was assigned a code, which flowed as normal SMS prices (a major difference to the TV shows) in the result.
What a stupid idea. While probably the visitors under 30 years, all had their phones here, could the same statement in the negative variant be made for visitors over 40 years. We were in the majority in the audience, but could not participate in the vote. The first Creole in the Pavilion in November 2006 for the Audience Award voting card distributed at the entrance to all guests. This was democratic!

I wondered also how I would bring the performances of the ten tape in a sequence. There were several outstanding bands that I would like to give good grades. Hòlabesh, Indigo Masala, Evelyn Kryger, Aavan, Royal Basement Ensemble and Musica e Arte were interesting and each had 1-2 remarkable pieces.

It took more than an hour in the foyer until the music stopped again, and many guests crowded the hall. The stage was decorated and all the judges and many organizers came to the stage.
Aavaan and Evelyn Kryger won the Jury Prize and represented Niedersachsen / Bremen in May in Berlin. The audience award went to the Royal Basement Ensemble, not what surprised me more, because this band had brought the largest group of fans to the festival.

What would otherwise be noted. The presenter was sometimes simply embarrassing if they could not even properly read their cards. If they took the stage between performances, for comments or the illusion of a conversation with one of the participants used was to feel that she has no reference to this festival. They announced something and actually read texts with little variation from the brochure lying around everywhere. Guests of this event were not illiterate, but were thus treated as such. A presentation is desirable, but that have succeeded in the project certainly much better. Critical

see the effort that our local television operation H1 for a live stream and special programs. Too often, the mobile camera man turned to the stage from the musicians and concealed this part. A live performance has its optical side, I just do not see on the screen.

The Creole Festival, I was really glad with the NDR, the state of Lower Saxony music , the Foundation of Lower Saxony and Bremen's Senator for additional culture funds were made available. 10 bands in five hours for only 15 €. That was a low-cost weekend entertainment.

Creole was a success in 2011. And for me as a visitor a good experience with stimulating conversation and a few bands that I want to hear in the future once a full concert. With a CD by Evelyn Kryger I was happy in the cold after Home.

Addendum: I had noted some months ago that non-anonymous comments are welcome. Now I received two such comments and the one I find offensive, and accordingly I have deleted it. And the next comment I would like to say again that I criticize the choice of mode and not the election results.
