Bring the Jubilee Rehearsals - day 1
today we met with robbie and the new director, denise, to discuss the new equipment we will be needing for the show.
we also discussed what we felt we should work on this time around.
now that we have adam in the band instead of ant, i think we will be able to make better use of the space, because there will be less swapping over of instruments to do, however, we also raised the idea of trying to create a little more space for musicians during the show if possible.
i think our biggest challege will be re-doing the 'red cloth scene' to make it truly breathtaking, but we have enough time to work out what to do.
i liked ants suggestion of trying out different types of music on cd's while watching the red cloth scene, to see what fits well, and how we can get ideas from that as to what we should play.
we later worked on the songs alternative ulster, and let's stay together, which are both coming along really well for the first day of rehearsals i think.
