Rehearsal

June 21, 2010

The wedding band rehearsal took place on Saturday. This was the first of three planned rehearsals. The next one is July 17th followed by the dress rehearsal on July 24th. The wedding reception is the evening of July 24th.

The rehearsal went really well. Our drummer came in from the GTA and he did a terrific job on the songs. We spent Friday evening going over several of the covers and all day Saturday working through the entire set. The success of the rehearsal really built up my excitement for the main event. I am looking forward to providing the musical contribution to my daughter’s wedding. And there is a great team of players to help make that happen.

I don’t think I have done this much playing in a long time. And Saturday was just way too much fun.

Hi, Richard,

Would you give us a taste of the “proposed”, (no pun intended) set list for the wedding?

Regards,

Rob

The set list is quite varied. Lots of tunes from Michael Buble, the Beatles, Elvis. Lots of material from Motown. Lots of swing and lots of rock.

I’ll post more on this when we get to the big day!

The groom is super-psyched about this.

Glad you guys are having fun, and I can’t wait to hear it in a month’s time. :)

If this is how much fun practice is, I can’t wait for the real thing!
