A weekend of RCJ

Wow... nice time this weekend.  Started with a fund-raising concert at the Wisconsin Rapids Performing Arts Center in Wisconsin Rapids.  The band played well, and many of the playing demons of today are slowly getting scared away.  Soloist were good - there were obvious mistakes, but our soloists worked on stretching out, and trying new ideas - all important concepts in soloing.

Saturday was the 2nd 6 hour rehearsal.  We worked on little things that make the band sparkle, like unifying rhythms and phrases.  While there is still work to do, much has been accomplished.
