Another scorching afternoon marked the next rehearsal with the band. Our strings section was newly returned from holiday abroad, but unfortunately some of us had some bad luck as well.
Our percussionist was supposed to head out for rollerblading in Marseille tomorrow, but an unfortunate skating accident last week left him with a broken wrist and some very nice nurses taking care of him, whilst we were stuck without a drummer.
Well, he is still the drummer, but his arm will not be healed in time for the next couple of gigs.
Fortunately two persons were ready to jump into the fray.
So most of the time was spent going through the percussion schematics for each song with both of them, quarreling whom should play along with which song. Satisfactory arrangements were made and after a couple of hours the brass and reed section joined us for renditions of our all time favourites. Things are looking up as far as the repertoire is concerned, now if we could fit in some creative writing for this year's Carnaval song, all would be splendid.
