[Dixielandjazz] Rehearsing

[Mike]

How do you get better as a unit if you don't practice?

How can you work out intros and endings if you don't practice as 
a band?

How do get to the point of being professional if you don't rehearse?

Hobby Band or not, if you want to get better you gotta rehearse. 
Otherwise you'll never be able to raise the bar on your 
performances. Of course, there's always bands and people who are 
the exception but most bands and musician I know practice 
privately and rehearse as a unit to improve.
