warmed up on v's new piece. decided we are doing the earth day show for the 3rd year. worked on eye of the needle (which is pretty much ready), third relation (which needs attention to transitions especially in the alternate ending lines, and attention to appropriate dynamics), asturius (which needs attention in transitions to twinkles), passage which needs to be practiced at home to the midi file) , invention #1 (which needs stronger minds), growing circle (practice), larks (no sprained wrists) thrak (needs personal practice).

we spent some time on cmaj up 4 octaves. and then playing each note as group up and down all octaves in sequence.
