We will be playing on the stage! Mrs. F's team will be setting up some 'ambience' for the Encounter (special lamps on the stage with us, and other things) I think there will be a nice atmosphere.
We (our team) have the talent and ability to do a fantastic job this Wednesday. We just need to remember a couple of things:
- Practice for it :-)
- Keep it simple. Drums, bass, and E. Guitar in particular.
- Be sensitive to what is happening. Keep your eyes and ears open.
- Keys - play an octave higher in your right hand :-)
