Rehearsal focused on just the women’s songs
So amazing to hear them sung by actual women! After some key changes, of course.
Some edits also made. I need to make new demos which really arent demos at this point. They’ll be the tracks we use for the show.

I got video edit notes from Greg
All good. Will probably do those edits in the next few days.
