Today is the final day in rehearsal that we could go over ‘I want you back’, it went very well whilst practising today we have all nailed our parts and our connection as a band is very visually explicit for the audience to see which is always great to have when delivering live music to and audience even when you’re not being paid as its all for the experience in my eyes.
After that, in our composition slot we went over how this evening is going to play out because our gig is taking place tonight so we were excused as it was many peoples first time playing to an audience, but it will be composition fun times always on a Tuesday after today which I am looking forward too. I still struggle a bit with composing, it was my weakness in secondary as I always had to ask Ben for help during lessons but I’m sure I will get the hang of it and become more independent as time goes on.
When composition was over and everyone had a break it was theory time with Jason, I began to type up my notes from the previous session, but before that Jason showed us all how to fill a rehearsal diary to a high standard which he checked through before we left to go to lunch which was very considerate of him!
After lunch we rehearsed one final time before the gig which was nerve racking but i played it cool and relaxed rather than setting myself up for failure which I used to do but I have a feeling that it can only go well for us! We then had tutor with Chris which was a pep talk which was great then after wards we waited for the concert to begin.
