  1. The Heatwave Quartet, have absolutely beautiful harmonies. They really come together to make this piece work. What I noticed about their posture is that they are always standing up straight. They are never slouching and that allows them to get as much air as they can. They did these weird things with their hands though, so it was a little distracting, but they weren't that bad. I think that is really hard, like being able to keep harmonies together like that, I would've been thrown off at first if I had to do that. So kudos to the ladies!

  2. Their body posture is definately stright up iand down kine. Like nobody slouches or anything [how can they with that blouse] Their chin are up [maybe to sing into the microphone but, still they seem so vertical. I like their different parts in the song are so beautiful to listen to because some are really high and they are just different pitchs. Their is someone [I think the third lady on the left] her voice is much lower than the other but, very pretty. I don't know. They distrubute different voices and sound like a great song without instruments just their voice.

  3. When watching the Heatwave Quartet, I noticed that all of them held great posture. They didn’t move round too much but through out the whole song, they held their heads high and smiled. All of the Quartets dressed similar and represented their group in a positive way with their “body language”. Although I didn’t really care for their performance, I thought it was great that they held themselves high and appeared to be having a good time. True performers keep a smile for the crowd and entertain! :]

  4. I'm going to number them from left to right. They were very good, but I noticed that 3 had her head cocked at an angle and it made me stare. I think that some times they would lean forward, but their shoulders weren't jerking around, so I guess that it's safe to say that they were singing correctly, through their stomachs. They did move their hands around, but that's not important. When they did move their hands, 1 and 2 moved the same hand, and 3 and 4 moved their other hand. Much like we tried dancing together our last class. I think that we can get the dance down after some more practice. I mean, we won't get it down on the first try.

  5. These women remind me of my grandmothers, because my grandma M has short hair and their posture reminds me of her. While their singing voices remind me of my nana. They have good posture and beautiful voices they are in harmony with eachother. These women are obviously singers who know what they're doing.

  6. The Heatwave Quartet had very good posture and had really good voices. i thoght it sounded really nice how they were singing together in harmony. What I noticed that one of the ladies had more hand motion then the others but it was still nice.
