Election day brought the band (and numerous people of voting age) to Cumberland High School. The former for an intense day of sightreading and other fun stuff, the latter in order to vote.
After starting the day with a less than subtle hint as to who Lindsay voted for (if you can't guess, he likes rangas), we were handed our music packs and we jumped right into it, with much success.
The first run-through went so well that we were judged competent enough to be trusted to go off to sectionals for an hour to become even more competent. Following that, we were ushered into a drama room where we were told the story of the band's formation, and the hardships it's founding members had to endure. We also heard the story of how Dane hug-attacked Tina Arena.
Following lunch, there was another rehearsal all together, during which some of the pieces were recorded to use as rehearsal aids. Links to them will be up as soon as they come to hand.
Before the next rehearsal, remember to practice hard, memorise as much as you can and GET A LYRE. Otherwise Lindsay will be unimpressed.
The next rehearsal will be September 11. Until then, play loud and proud.
