First NMA Concert Band rehearsal

The first concert band rehearsal of an NMA reunion is nerve-wracking. We haven't played together in a year. All the players haven't arrived yet. We're sight reading unfamiliar music.

 And we don't make excuses. We put our hearts into it, and by the end of the rehearsal, things are going much more smoothly.

And members of the audience seems to enjoy the rehearsal,, too--each in his own way.
