Hey it's Teiga! This morning we had sectionals with the younger students, which went quite well! But that's not what I'm here to write about; after sectionals and before lunch Hannah and I were planning on playing a few duets under The Dark Knight Rises billboard tarp where our band rehearsals are. As we were taking out our instruments one of our friends, Miché, called us over to a circle where he and a few others were jamming. Miché was playing an amazing solo, then passed it off to Davide, another trumpet player. Hannah and I figured out the riff as the solo was passed around the circle. Miché was pointing at kids who wanted to solo, and soon he pointed to Hannah! She played a fantastic solo to the delight of our group. We played two other riffs, another jazz and the last one latin. It was loads of fun to be part of the group and be able to experience their version of improvising without music or anyone to lead! It was like playing in a real jazz group without anyone being in charge of solos. I'm so happy we were included because it was simply so. much. fun. Hopefully we'll get to play with them again later in the week!
