Thacher Montessori, 3 - 4 - 12, 8:00 - 11:30 PM
**Victor, Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, Scott, Alex in attendance.
**for a calisthenic warm-up, the group tackles the "anchor" exercise up and down the neck first at a moderate, and then a brisk, tempo.
**a play-through of Flying Home for something a bit more musical.
**several pieces of new repertoire are in need work, and people are at various levels of proficiency with various parts within that repertoire. the group splits up to economize the work and find a direction: Alex works individually on his parts for the fugue; Rick works with Chris on the perpetuo sections of Peaches en Regalia; and Brad and Victor work on their own part for Peaches.
**after the small groups session, a few full recitals of Peaches before Alex and Rick must both make early departures.
**following a short break, the remaining group plays through some repertoire: Growing Circle, once at a slow tempo and again more quickly; one take of Bicycling to Afghanistan; Moving Force, with Chris pulling Scott outside to show him the bass part; and finishing up with Thrak, getting Scott on board with marching, counting, and a little help from the Talking Heads.
