Well, I just recently became an adjudicator for the Wisconsin School Music
Assn and in my training, I was told to write more. I even did a day of
judging under a mentor and my only criticism was to write more. My mentor
did seem to pay a lot of attention to people while they were singing and
write on a notepad and then take time between singers to put his notes on the
sheet ... it's hard because I just want to give them encouragement throughout
the whole process.
