And the beat goes on...

Rehearsals continued this week and the mood is tense. Well, only when we work on Lollapalooza. So great that John chooses to end the rehearsal with this piece, so we leave with a catchy, singable tune in our heads Seriously, I think the piece does have potential, it's just hard to imagine it right now.

We also spent a good chunk of time working on Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. This piece was originally written for piano, and is quite the showpiece for virtuoso pianists. There are also countless orchestral arrangements, and I think that's how many people have learned the piece (hearing the orchestral version).

Both of those things said, pulling off this piece, as a wind ensemble is going to be challenging. You have to do these famous pieces really well, or not at all.
