My doooods,
So far, so good. I'm really stoked with the progress we've made in this first half. I'll be casting more parts (and hopefully new songs) very soon, but in the mean time, this is your job.
-Quiz yourself on the structure of all of your songs at least once everyday. This is especially important on the longer jams.
-Strive to absolutely finish the basics (verses & choruses, intros & endings) as soon as you possibly can.
-Spend the most time on the parts of the song that scare you the most. Solos, fast passages, long middle sections, odd-time parts, etc etc etc. These parts will only get easier if you work on 'em!
LASTLY, if you've been at the school for a long time, please don't hesitate to help your fellow bandmates. There are some students in this show who know how to play A TON of Rush songs and there are a few students who are in their first or second show. Help each other out and the world will be a better place!
(For all of you who are in their first or second show, keep it up! I'm stoked you're in such a tough show! You got this, just keep working hard!!)
