A Tuning the Air Journal
Monday September 21, 2009 – Final Rehearsal Before Opening Night
Full performance team at Bob and Jaxie’s.
We ran the set cold. Kind of cruel thing to do to ourselves, but that is more or less what will happen on Thursday, so it was necessary to jump directly into the deep end. We took it relatively easily, but did not stop to fix anything either, other than one very necessary tuning break. The running time was within 3 minutes of my estimate, so we are good to go. Everything flowed pretty well. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it works well.
Break for chocolate cake, in slightly belated honor of Bob’s birthday.
In the last hour (we actually ran about 30 minutes over) we walked and talked through the set and identified some of the things we need to hold in our attention and intention during the show. We ran a couple of technical issues, and then played the pieces currently listed as “in the pocket” and available for encore, Insha'Allah.
Wednesday evening there will be some practicalities dealt with, and then on Thursday it is on.
