So what's it like for a first rehearsal for someone coming on board?
13:21
So our rehearsals start with about an hour soft start.
13:26
So when we say our rehearsals start, we say it starts anywhere from 6 to 7.30 because that first hour and a half is fully focused on small interaction, socials, and skill building.
13:40
So this is where we might have some of our newer players that want to work on a song before the actual group rehearsal starts.
13:48
We have that whole first hour until about 7, 7.30 before we come together as an official group and start to run through music.
13:56
So after that first hour of just that's a really great way to kind of meet people because it's not any kind of official structure yet.
14:06
Then we'll do brief introductions and announcements.
