We need to select and prepare our 10 tunes for our Tuesday, July 4th (noon-2:30pm, 1-2 pm Performance; No Luna). The entire set list will also need to be revisited, so we can revise it, as needed (without tenor sax). We’ll rehearse as many selections as possible for Gabby to feel comfortable. Please bring all your music, a pencil, and improv book to every rehearsal. We’ll work on pg. 36 & beyond, in our improv book. Caedon has Sunday’s listening.
