We had a productive rehearsal on Sunday. ‘Live Goes On And On’ (Z) is really sounding solid and it’s a pretty exciting piece. This will be a great opener and with a little movement should make quite a statement.
Brazil is starting to gel too. I know we’re working on some subtle musical things along with trying to get the tempo right plus the new ‘road map’. This is progressing nicely too.
The key to really get these two tunes locked in now is to memorize your parts, this will help you keep your eye on the Drum Major and allow you to focus on your playing. We’ll be playing both of these for St. Pats in one month from now so next rehearsal these need to be memorized.
We haven’t focused too much on ‘Impossible Dream’ or ‘Like a Lover’ yet but expect to over the next several rehearsals. If you can memorize these too. By April you’ll need to have all your music memorized for when we learn drill.
‘Oye Como Va’ sounded pretty good considering we hadn’t touched it in a while.
Remember what Chris talked about during M&M and start thinking about how you look too and think about how you march and the effort you put into it.
Lastly, I wanted to thank everyone for your efforts and the commitment you are putting into the 2008 version of the Muchachos, attendance has been very good and the results show. Continue the good work, June 29th will be here before you know it.
Dave
