As we walked into the rehearsal room of the MSM Precollege
Jazz Big Band, I noticed characteristics about the students similar to those in
our band. Before the rehearsal formally started, they were jamming out, playing
an up-tempo grove. We often do this a lot in our rehearsals. As more kids came
into the rehearsal it became more formal. The kids started to tune their
instruments and prepare for the session.
There was not really much time spent on warming up. I would say about
three to five minutes on tuning and making sure all instruments were in perfect
pitch. As they dove into playing, I noticed that everyone was focused and ready
for the task at hand. There was not an even amount of time spent on each song.
They focused the bulk of their time on the first song, Fables of Fabus, for about forty-five minutes. In all, I gained a lot of insight from the
musicians in attending their rehearsal. It was very inspired to see kids my age
playing at such a professional level.
