Band Dynamics - Performance Prep - NEVAH - Part 7

Hey there, NEVAH fans … sorry I digressed for a couple O' weeks from my Band DYNAMICs blogs (hopefully you missed them - maybe not). Ahhh - the holidays! 

Anyway I want to continue on my Dynamics series of blogs - this one a continuation of performance preparation. And a perfect example of Performance Preparation would be yesterdays rehearsal …

Nevah had an amazing practice last night. There was quite a lot of playing, discussing and "listening" - the key to the practice was the listening aspect.

… and, because we are not always able to get together with every band member we recorded (down and dirty) our new arrangements to send via email to the band members who were not present at last nights rehearsal.

It's hard to forget an arrangement if you record it.

The recorder was placed on a short stand and we all stood nearby playing. It's really for reference only, to listen to the overall arrangements, play along with, practice your rhythm and lead parts. However, because we will all have an audio copy of the arrangements we can spend our time perfecting our parts so when we get together we can concentrate on performance aspects.

That's it for the moment … hope all is well with the "NEVAH Fans". We look forward to seeing all of you. You might want to touch base with the Next Generation Theatre concerning tickets since seating is limited and we don't want you to miss out. Look below at one of the previous blogs for contact information.
