Galaxy practice

Yesterday, I had the Galaxy jazz band practice at Yamaha building in Jakarta. I spent two hours practicing in the studio playing the saxophone. We played new songs called "MANTECA" and "Love for Sale". These were very hard songs to play because it is upbeat and fast. But we all practiced together as a band. I had to be really patient because I had to wait for each others' turn to practice. So the conductor would tell the trombone & trumpet players to play their parts first and later on, the saxophone and then percussion. The practice was actually very helpful because by the end of the rehearsal time, we were all able to play the song at least up to half.
