Big Apple Practice #1

Let's practice Frankie Manning's incredible Big Apple routine because 1) you probably don't know it or you get stuck in the infamous "second half" and 2) our community is hosting an event called Flying Home, the pressure is ON. This isn't a class, we'll all be figuring this out as we go with the help of YouTube and our own scattered knowledge from attending Big Apple classes and promptly forgetting everything we knew. After practice, we should go get frozen custard... This will be the first practice, with the next to take place on Sunday, July 17, 2022. Here's a link to the next practice session invite: https://www.facebook.com/events/573562527479229 I will be requiring masks at this time. Please come in the door on the left side of the building, not the front door. If you've read this far and don't know what the Big Apple routine is, BEHOLD Whitey's Lindy Hoppers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=trsX4GWdc94&feature=emb_logo We do this routine to Flying Home because, for a long time, no one had transcribed the chart in the film for modern bands to play and the only recording was in this film. But also, Lionel Hampton and Illinois Jacquet are badass.
