My day started off with a rehearsal which was cool, I sat around for an hour as per usual as I’m always in early due to sleeping round my partners the night before.
Sitting in the corridor has become a routine that I have became too familiar with, my guitar teacher isn’t available this week because he is playing within the musical so I sat organising the work in my bag and looking at all the work I have to do.
When our singer came back from her English lesson we grabbed a rehearsal room as a trio, because Lewis is always in a bass lesson during the time where it is optional to rehearse within,
We began to look at ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, we kept playing it over and over whilst playing/singing around to the track until we had some footing of where the song was going.
Me and the drummer picked the structure up quickly, after two times roughly, and our singer had nearly memorised the lyrics too which is very good for her!
We will learn our parts over half term so it just a matter of putting them all together and getting tight as a band. Whilst our singer was singing she went to spit in the bin, well that is what I thought until I had realised she was throwing up in the bin.
I came to a stop after Lucy caught my attention as I carried on playing which is basic instinct for me, we quickly got up and helped her out and then we packed up to sit within the corridor.
I then went home with my partner to have lunch because we didn’t have any breakfast as a sacrifice for being at college in time.
After we had food, I was driven back and forced into a theory lesson but then I remembered Chris saying that my band could rehearse during that session so that is what we did, this time round though we had our bassist.
We went through ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ with our bassist now, he didn’t get the song so he took notes according the cut work down over half term. Afterwards our singer came back to go through the song a couple times then we went home for a much needed nap…
