Today miss arrived and gave us the backing tracks for every number in the show using our email addresses and blogs. So in lesson we sang through every song to try the backing tracks out
"Tune up 1" backing track: with this backing track I struggled to stay in time with the music as it progressed through the song as either I was going to fast or to slow compared to the backing track.
"Voice mail 1": has no backing track.
"Tune up 2" backing track: I managed to stay in time with this track after getting yse to the pace from the last track so we made it through this song with little problem.
"Rent" backing track: this number went fine for us to sing along with but at the end miss reminded us we need to shout less for the songs as it causes us to lose the tone.
"One song glory" backing track: Tom sang through this number with no problem.
"Light my candle" backing track: this was their first time singing through this song but they managed to sing through it with little mistake of keeping in time.
"Today 4 you" backing track: this number me, Toby and atom sang through our first part of the song with little difficulty as we had practice it before but Dan struggled to sing the rest of the song as hasn't done the number before.
"You'll see" backing track: this number we went well other than a few mistakes with timing of lines.
"Tango Maureen" backing track: With this number we got up and ran through the dance as well as the song as it had been a while since we had practice the dance.
"Life support" backing track: we ran this number with no problems.
"Another Day" backing track: this number had little problem except some of us struggled to sing a long with our part at the end of the song.
"Will I?" backing track: ran through this with no problem.
"Santa Fe" backing track: ran through this with no problem.
"I'll cover you" backing track: ran through this with no problem.
"La Vie boheme": we ran through this number with little difficulty until the end where we all tell stories of the other characters which we tried to do but have never done before so we struggled with the timing.
After we had sang through those song, we then had a listen to "I'll cover you reprise" as we were going to set it next lesson. We sang through with little problem and put ourselves in groups to sing the last part of the song.
"With a thousand sweet kisses": Freya, Meg, Lorna, Dan M and Tom
"Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes": me, Carl, Dan S, Dom

Ashley, don't forget you should be analysing the PROCESS of workshopping Rent - talk about the advantages / disadvantages of tracks versus a live band, how we are rehearsing with tracks, and targets for the next rehearsal (you don't really need to describe what each track is!)
