It was interesting for me, because I had some stomach problems- I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, and I just wanted to roll up in a ball and sleep. BUT I got through it, with some good pictures & good stuff learned from Marty. He had the kids clap a lot more than I do, and it seems like it really helped with the tough rhythms. He sometimes had one group count constant eighth notes while another group clapped their rhythms. Also, at one point everyone counted the snare drum part so the winds would lock in with them. It was very cool when he had the trombones stand in one section because they couldn't be heard, even though they had the melody. They stood up and could be heard!
