Hi band.
People not involved in syf can skip to the bottom.
Lottttts of stuff.
I'm so sorry I don't have the time to categorise the comments into respective sections, so just read through everything and write down whatever applies to your section okay?
Firstly, SLs, I have sent you guys the recordings. Please send your section the recording now, so that they can spot their mistakes.
The one with "Sarabande full" is the full run through.
The others with "Sarabande part 1" "Sarabande part 2" etc etc, is the whole practice. (It was really long so I had to split it up in a few parts, same goes to Vesuvius.
