If you're a tech major, describe to the best of your ability the nuts and bolts of the practice of the performers in your group; what is something about the daily work of a performance major that you didn't know about? Similarly, for the performers, what do you see that makes the tech person 'furrow their brow', what is the basic procedures that they go through every rehearsal that you didn't realize were such an important and time consuming part of their practice?

Being a tech major that also comes from a classical music background has been very unique in that I have an understanding on what it means to be a performer. Although I have never practiced percussion or dance, all three of us can relate to warm ups, technique, form...and injuries. It's easy to forget how fragile the human form is, and if there is an off-balance, this can result in having to back away, rest and then get back on your feet.
That being said, I am amazed by the versatility of both Carlos and AJ. Im amazed when I see AJ improvising on miscellaneous percussive instruments with perfect timing, and Carlos not only utilizing dance movement, but also integrating voice and percussion into his performance practice.
