Hotel California - you are obviously well rehearsed, with unified and well blended sound and good performances from everyone, instrumentally and vocally. However, for me, there was less cohesion in today's performance than I heard in previous practice, with a few little slips in the timing here and there that made it feel a bit hesitant at times. You know the song well, but to add the polish to this performance I'd suggest some practice in pairs (Vinny and Madi to build those vocal harmonies back in confidently, the song lacks something without them, or maybe take them instead Faith? In which case go a third higher than main vocal line) and for Vinny and George to get that guitar duet perfectly balanced and articulated super-cleanly - it's so iconic, needs bringing out more.

teacher feedback-
of the two songs you performed today, to me, this is the one that came across as the song you felt more comfortable and invested in. This is an atmospheric and powerful rendition (and an improvement on the original in my opinion!). As you get more familiar with it, Madi, you can take some more risks with improvising away from the original melodic line, as discussed in rehearsal. As a band performance, it works well. If you take this forward to your gig setlist, work on adding more contrast, you could take the breakdown to almost nothing before rebuilding the song, for example. Good job!
Personal feedback-
During this two weeks we did miss one rehearsal due to an online learning day. Hotel California was our cover piece and overall we all needed more practice. if we had that extra rehearsal we would of had time to add backing vocals and clean up the song. In White Wedding we tried to make it into a 70's prog rock with our main inspiration being Pink Floyd.
