Last NIghts Rehearsal - trumpets, singing and weeds

Well what can I say, a weird rehearsal last night I thought, the summer programme is coming on and pieces like Silverado are getting better however there is a lot of work to be done. The band seems to have a good rehearsal one week and a bad one the next week, 4th place at Stevenage seems a long time ago now. The numbers were down last night so that always has an impact on the band, with the trombone section not actually existing and empty seats it is difficult to produce a balanced band.

The highlights of the night for me were, the front row bringing out the trumpets for "All Night Long", keep squeezing and the high notes will come. Richard suddenly singing for no apparent reason (what was he on?) but the best moment was: Tom going outside to spray the weeds round the bandroom (thats what its like I guess in a fast paced band like ours)

No rehearsal next week so its time to do some homework, yes homework. I have actually taken my folder home to look at, should hear an improvement by the next rehearsal - fingers crossed.
