Thacher Montessori, 3 - 11 - 12, 8:30 - 11:30 PM
**Victor, Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, Dev, Scott, and Alex in attendance.
**the group spends the afternoon doing a photo shoot, followed by dinner.
**before meeting with guitars, Dev does some follow-up on promotional work and engages the group in discussion on some ideas to promote the upcoming GC course.
**for warm-up, Where's the Nurse and Batrachomyomachy, with a little detail work on the latter.
**next is Prelude and Fugue no. 1 from Bach's WTC. the Prelude team plays through the piece as far as their knowledge will collectively take them, which tonight is about half-way. it seems that there is a little lack of clarity in the notes of the sequence (rather than the structure) for some players, which is luckily a straightforward fix. then onto Fugue, which tonight is begun from the final chord of the preceding Prelude. conversely, the obstacle to this piece seems to be structural - entering at the right time, counting correctly, etc.
**Dev requests Voices of Ancient Children. the group plays through the piece once, tentatively but without any conspicuous mistakes. Dev makes a note on the tempo, and Chris offers to have a clear delineation of the structure for the next rehearsal.
**the final piece for rehearsal is Overworld 2. Chris has made some changes to the "coda" he has written for the main loop, based on the previous week's responses to it. He takes a moment to teach these as well as a new ending. Then, the team makes several passes through the complete Overworld, and concludes the meeting.
