Cold Run

Spot Check

Hedge Trimmer

• This is when everyone plays together again, so make sure to start in sync
• This is the "peak" of the song, so make BIG motions. Especially the first 2 hits (jya jya): "heave-ho" from your chest.
• "Taunt": Play A or B, whichever you are most comfortable with.

Runaway

• At the end of "Gotta Go", make sure to extend the right arm as far as possible and keep it so into the next hit (the beginning of "Tassajara".
• Play "Retreat" immediately after the last hit of "Taunt"
  • su~ dogo su~ godo su~ dogo gododa

Cronkite

• Kuchishouga + air bachi
  • Keep a consistent tempo and emphasize/listen for every-other right hits. Make sure the hits correlate to the kuchishouga.
  • dagadagadagidagodon

KLarC/Joan of Arc

• Widen the range of volume during crescendo/decrescendo. Playing this fast gives us a limit to how loud we can play, therefore...
  • During the decrescendos, play very very soft by the end. Make the audience question if you're even playing.
  • Crescendo from that "very very soft" point.
• Think of every transition as an event.

Other Notes

• TRY NOT TO SPEED UP. Try to keep Seiji's initial opening tempo.
