academie: Re: live band practice

[Edvard Gayer]

Talbot, et al:

All other things being equal, I would recommend the live band practice 
happen on the night before the demo, which would be the 3rd Friday.  This 
would allow the dancers to have things fresh in their minds, and would allow 
the band the best opportunity to adapt whatever "peculiarities" that may 
arise during practice.  Remember, whenever musicians and dancers get 
together for the first time, they have different expectations about simple 
things like number of repeats, speed of the music, and so on.  If any of 
those are found during practice, the fixes have the best chance of 
"sticking" if the performance is soon after the demo.

Sorry if this sounds circular, it makes sense to me, though I might not be 
able to put it into words easily.  ;)

I am not sure about UM Armory, but the St. Andrews
site in Storvik is not likely to work...it is too
crowded on their practice night, and the cost for
holding it on another night is prohibitive.  Simon
told me about a site in Ellicott City, in Howard
County; it is $50 for one night.  It is looking like a
Friday night offers us the best chance, so we could
perhaps do the second or third Friday in October.
