Big band Our Big Band Rehearsing in a Church

rhysonsax · May 3, 2015

We normally rehearse in the music school where our bass trombonist is head of music. But in March we had one week where that wasn't available, so we rehearsed in a local church.

We opened up the rehearsal for any friends and family who wanted to see us in action, but it definitely wasn't a performance (look at the idiot bari player and his cup of tea).

Anyway, Tom our lead alto player brought along his parents and his dad was keen to try out a new video camera. I think the picture quality and the sound are pretty good.

The song is that well known standard "No More Sheep".

Oh wow that really sounds great I hope to be a part of this sort of band in the future when I start living in an actual city 🙂 I honestly think you should record more songs with this band

Just found a video from last year that I wasn't aware of. Spot the idiot in the hat (that's me).

Oi! I resemble that remark. The youth in the corner looks unimpressed.

I hope there was more watching than appear on the vid (scandalous if not) a good band

The conductor at MWO is also MD at The Swingshift Band very similar to your band hoping one day to sit in rather than sit n listen....one day
