Performance Team Rehearsal

A Tuning the Air Journal

Monday December 5, 2011 – Performance Team Rehearsal

All hands on deck for our penultimate Monday night rehearsal.

The Bach Fugue was the order of the evening. We spent the first 30 minutes focused on the piece. It is in the set. We could easily have spent the entire rehearsal on it, but we do have a gig on Thursday. Chris outlined the revamped setlist for this week, and it was decided that we would run whatever piece anyone felt needed attention, and in between each piece we would run the Fugue. This worked pretty well. We worked on “I Am The Walrus”, “Slow Burn”, “Tango Apasionato”, “Mad World”, “Tico Tico”, “Eye of the Needle” and “Thrak”. In between each, we ran the Fugue, for better or worse, occasionally appending the Prelude.

During the break, Jaxie provided, hot from the oven, butterscotch bread pudding, from the recipe that was such a hit at the Raft Island retreat. A winner once again.
