This morning started off with me being in early as per usual and Me + Ethan were on time for once which is our goal everything Wednesday morning. His day started off with a rehearsal and I was mean’t to have a guitar lesson for my upcoming guitar exam but Jake has been busy with work and not awfully fond of me or Eth so that is fun.
I went to go get us drinks, after that I proceeded to type out my project action plan/timetable off of this brief plan I put together last night which is built up upon scribbles and random letters, I will attach it below…
I will upload this when it has been finished properly underneath my Unit 8 tab, I have left this until last as I wanted to look at my work at a glance as my year draws to a sad close, however I am looking forward to a lovely summer break.
When Ethan came back out of rehearsal I had to go into a room to go through our set but my band members were scattered about so me and Lucy had to look about for Lewis and Millie. We let Millie finish up her coursework then she came into our room to rehearse, and then we remembered that Lewis has a bass lesson so he walk in when it is finished.
The main highlight of our rehearsal would have to be Jason coming in to help us with ‘1999’ as it was sounding bloody awful, so he gave us a new chord progression and bass line which works a thousand times better it is now up to rehearsing it and getting up to its peak potential for Thursday and Saturday.
We also gave ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ another shot, instead of figuring out something to replace the saxophone solo, I would rather Millie to have a vocal solo or something along those lines to showcase her abilities, because I have enough solos and the spotlight isn’t something I crave massively.
After this me and Ethan went to have a hefty lunch as we are starving at this point during the day, we had hot dogs which are incredibly filling but on top of that I had chicken and he had a sausage roll.
We then went back to college to then realise that I have rehearsal again but Lucy had to do some drumming thing with Dan, so me, Lewis and Millie went through the chord progression for ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ as we were struggling with it earlier. But to save the hassle of setting up and packing down afterwards I decided to do it acoustic with Millie singing whilst Lewis takes note of what I am playing.
Ethan then dropped me home when I finished, I am planning to go through my guitar exam stuff as I am a mere week away or so which is getting increasingly scary…
