Performance Team Rehearsal

A Tuning the Air Journal

Monday October 11, 2010 – Performance Team Rehearsal

A little circulation to warm up, and then we launched into Ninth Guitar E, which will be in the set for next Thursday’s performance. Necessary detail work with the metronome on the connections and interactions between the 3 parts, one section at a time. Integration. Work with playing the piece with a sense of ease and fun. Noted that it really is a very silly little ditty, and yet it requires maximum care and attention to pull off. Counting through the solo sections remains one of the most hazardous aspects of the tune. It was declared ready for performance, and so we are on for Thursday.

During the break, discussion about possibilities for the CGT gig in November, including a piece that we might be able to join them on. Also a mention of a change in the House Team and the gap that will create, with a major role in need of filling.

I had some questions about a particular section of A Day In The Life, and so after the break we took a little time to explore how we are interpreting it. Good work, and clarity achieved.

The balance of the rehearsal on continuing work with Vrooom, and a little discussion about the set list for this week.
