rehearsal with orchestra!

the musicians arrived at our house on Sunday, and we were able to have our first rehearsal later that day. It was awesome!, soooooo much better than dancing to taped music all the time :] There are 4 of them, a vocalist, mridangam player, flute player, and veena player. they all seemed to know my songs pretty well, and that made it easier for everyone. Also, all of them are super nice and friendly which is good because they're staying at our house haha. as of tonight, the head count of people staying in this house is 19! Anyway, we've been practicing every day and working through each dance, making changes where necessary and basically just getting accustomed to each other because we depend on each other on stage. Tomorrow is the stage rehearsal. it should take almost all day, we have everything to figure out tomorrow, from decorations and sound systems to stage setup and dancing, so it should be an interesting day.

T-minus 2 days!!!!!!
