Before the recording session started, members of the band spent a few minutes relaxing, warming up, and studying their scores. From
left to right: Jeff Stockham (Eb Cornet), Becca Doucette (Eb Cornet), Jari Villanueva (Bb Cornet), Doug Hedwig (Bb Cornet), Ron
Friedman (Eb Alto Horn), Dick Bergren (Bb Tenor Horn), John Bieniarz (Eb Bass Saxhorn), and Mark Elrod (Eb Bass Saxhorn).

Above: Doug takes a break while Mark and Ron compare notes on the piece.
Looks like Dick is studying his music too.
The one and only Mark Elrod! Is he
contemplating the meaning of life, or just
psyching himself up for that high Ab?
Meanwhile John thought it was time to stop kidding around and get serious about playing.

Ted and Garman look pretty happy too, after three days of hard work on this recording.

It must have sounded pretty good - they're all
smiling! From left to right: Jari, Doug, and Ron.
