Orpheum rehearsal

It was the first of a scheduled set of Orpheum rehearsals tonight in our run up to our gig supporting Edguy on 13th October at Watford Colosseum as part of the ROC(K)TOBER Fesitval. It's a HUGE gig for the band and so we'll be going all out to make things perfect so that we make a good impression.

Things didn't start too well as I realised that I had forgotten to bring my tuner and plectrums as they'd all got stuffed in my flight case after the Red Roar Festival gig rather than going back in my gig bag! DOH! Fortunately I can tune via the keyboard and play with my fingers, or borrow a plectrum from Fin.

Mars wasn't so lucky though as she realised that she had brought the wrong keyboard adapter! In the end she had to hire a keyboard from Storm. Much to her disgust it was a Yamaha which was certainly not up to standards of her Roland Juno! She was not a happy bunny!

It was a tough rehearsal with us taking a very brutal approach to mistakes and going over things until they are right but this approach appears to be working which can only lead to much better things performance wise. Hopefully things will get a lot easier over the next few weeks so that we are completely ready and confident for Watford.

Out of all of us, Erin probably had the least amount of issues which must be why she was smiling LOL

It was good rehearsal though and the excitement is slowly starting to build for ROC(K)TOBER!!!
