This morning we started our new term off with Music Business which was alright, Chris asked us how our half terms however that didn’t last long because we then went on to the actual lesson.
We were mean’t to be getting started on our copyright essay, which I have completed, but I’m still getting locked into my mind. But for the majority of the lesson Chris was out of the class sorting everybody else out with other issues.
I also found out this morning I passed my Grade 1 Theory test, but I got some stupid things wrong which I’m going to kick my head in for in the meanwhile here it is:
Afterwards, we had our first rehearsal as a full on band which went surprisingly well! All of our parts locked together perfectly and now all that’s left to work on is the endings of songs along with their structures. I nearly forgot me and Lucy are doing backing vocals which is entertaining but it makes Millie sound ten times more supported and backed up than alone.
Lunch and D.I.S were the most boring things ever, a week off doing entertaining things and spending time with my partner has made me realise this. So all I did was sit back and wait for the two hours to be over, I could have started on another rehearsal diary but I wasn’t in the right mindset to put together that requires a lot of brain power.
At the end of the day we rehearsed again briefly because everyone was shattered it didn’t last awfully long so we all went home, what we primarily worked on was “When Doves Cry” because we had everything down as a band and needed to hear if the vocals were to work as well as the original cover by Lenny Kravitz…
I’ll put some videos on here eventually so you can track our progress as a band and for reference in the coming weeks leading up to our Live Lounge recording and performance at the Ashcroft Arts Center!
