Brad led calisthenics this day. He started us off with the 16 bar exercise. Once we had finished, he had us repeat this with the addition of counting the bars out loud. Then the same thing, only counting 3/4 over the 16 bar exercise. This concluded calisthenics for the evening.
After calisthenics, Dev had us go through 'Eye of the Needle', but only playing the first and the last note of the piece to a metronome. This was to see if we would all end in the same place. After this, we played through all of 'Eye of the Needle' a few times. Then we moved on to 'Flying Home'. Each section worked on playing precisely on the beat. At this point, we had an audience of two earwigs scurrying around our feet, so we played 'Voices of Ancient Children' for them. We played it twice without a metronome and once with the metronome at the suggested tempo.
