My new team picked a name and had our first show last night. It's a great mix of talented committed people, half of which are from Rick, that I'm really excited and grateful to perform with.
Rehearsals the past month have been great, people seem to be gelling and were doing some different stuff form wise that frees us up to develop our own style and experiment. Everything is just starting of course but its a good start and I'm eager to rehearse more, do more shows and see where we end up. I love beginnings, there's a lot of energy, there's some uncertainty and because of that maybe a little danger, a little more risk.
The show was good but not great. I think anyone watching enjoyed it but it wasn't up to the caliber we've been doing in rehearsal. Fun and funny without being cohesive. We were all kind of down after it, the post show blues which happens every once in a while. But we talked about it in, diagnosed it afterwards which brought it into some perspective. I haven't dissected a show like that with a team afterwards in a long time, I remember The Album use to talk the show to death after, and its a good thing. It gets everyone on the same page, solidifies that feeling of team, we're all in this together.
It wasn't a firework display of a first show but it was a start. And at this points thats all we need.
You have to take the first step down the path in order to walk it.
