I just got back from a band concert. We played pretty poorly, nobody seemed to know what they were doing and we only sounded marginally better than the rest of the program (grade 1-6 school bands!) The hardest song, Oregon by Jacob de Haan, started off the best, then our drummer got 8 bars ahead. That's bad, because Oregon is divided up into 8 bar sections, therefore for almost the rest of the song he was playing the wrong rhythm (fast, driving beat in the slow and moving bit.) This put off the rest of the band, and we only formed back together haflway through when there's a really obvious, exciting bit that I started off really loud in and quieted down as more people started playing again. I won't say it turned out Ok, because it didn't, but we hung in there. I guess. Only two more performances to go!
