    Critique of "The Shawshank Redemption" The Shawshank Redemption is a great film depicting the journey of Andy Dufresne‚ as played by Tim Robbins‚ getting convicted of murdering his wife and getting sent to jail. The only thing: he didn’t do it. This is one of my most favored movies to watch‚ it also happens to be a good short story by Stephen King. One of the main things that rally grabbed my attention was the casting. I feel that Morgan Freeman as Red was a great choice. His acting is always

    Lack of Self-Belief Lack of belief in one’s own abilities is also a common problem in goal setting. Let’s face it; if you really believed you could achieve your goal‚ you probably would have done it already! (Unless your goal is a brand new one‚ of course. But most people set the same goals multiple times before they actually achieve them.) How can you tell if you don’t have a strong belief in yourself? Probably the most telling clue is that you’ll hesitate when it comes to

    The song choice for this band seems very appropriate for the level of players in the ensemble. I also enjoyed the Christmas medley that they played with the concert being close to Christmas. The band had very good balance. They had a good foundation with the low brass and woodwinds. The upper woodwinds were not shrill sounding and blend very nicely into the foundation the lower instruments set for them. The rhythms were together and precise. They were able to switch between staccato and legato seamlessly
