David Reeves Paid Us A Visit!

This evening's rehearsal went very well. Our music arranger, David Reeves came to practice to give us feedback. It was nice to have musical input from the arranger himself!
At the beginning of the evening we practiced the Tango choreography. It is starting to look a lot better, and by the end of the season we will make professional dancers jealous of our sweet tango skills.
We split around 6:15 into sectionals to warm-up and run through parts of the music. The brass split into subsectionals at 6:30 to work on music for the closer, which will be added on Saturday. Saxaphones are improving on their Tango section and working on the Closer as well. The rest of the woodwinds, clarinets and flute, were also able to work through alot of the Closer.
The last part of rehearsal was done in shakos and marching shoes so that we could get a better idea of what our show is like during a performance. We also took the majority of the Ravel off of the metronome and are ready to perform again at tomorrow night's football game.
At the very end of rehearsal we played a song for the dance team. Traditionally we play a song for one of their football game routines each year. It was fun to rehearse with them briefly!
