Awesome job last night, guys! Solid work and major headway through the charts. We've almost got all of "The First Circle" put together, and once we get that, it's going to be polish, polish, polish. Only thirty-five measures to go, right at the beginning. Malaguena will be ready by April and I love that there was more attention to articulations and dynamics there.
That's the thing now: major attention to articulation and dynamics. We need to start taking everything to the next level now that we've got our heads around the pieces. And that next level is the flow and the feel of the pieces. I would suggest listening to multiple recordings on the Internet and getting an idea of what's going on in the other parts that are not in your own. Of course, if you sense one is more important, bring your part down, etc.
And remember, the Samba should be "elevator friendly." "Samba Ti Kaye" and "Ride the Wind" are both warm downs from the first two charts and rest pieces before the "blow your face off" closer. They're strategically placed in the set to be that way. So, you guys know what to do and what needs to be worked on. Let's keep the energy up - only six weeks to the first performance.
