Today Chris is taking the HNC’s away on a trip to local music shops whilst he leaves us all at college with Jason to get on with our work, I was a couple minutes late this morning, but I had rehearsal and setting up always takes a few minutes…
In rehearsal we went through ‘Love Rears Its Ugly Head’ as a band for the first time without a backing track, each and every time we went through it we got progressively better which was entertaining to see unfold. At the end we had a break and then we were ushered into the Mac room for two hours..
We were meant to have Improvisation, because next week I believe we are all being assessed on our capabilities when playing in a band and as individuals. I would have liked to rehearsed after an hour in there but there was only one lecture in so I started to fill in my UCAS application, all that is left to do is my personal statement which is coming together I am just a bit frazzled on what points to include.
We also attempted another MMP meeting but at the moment no one is ever in, including the president so as a class we discussed the venues we could hire and what would be realistic on getting people to buy tickets for and make the journey to see us play and potential charities to donate too.
Lunch was a recovery period for the two hard hours I sat down for, afterwards we then had rehearsal to conclude our day. We carried on going through our set and songs until we called it quits because we were all tired and some of us were getting more frustrated than others.
