Hi there,
Apologies, I have a couple of shows to see on Thursday and so I'll miss practice this week.
Related recommendation - the Wintergrass festival is going on at the Hyatt in downtown Bellevue all weekend - see
https://wintergrass.com/It's officially the coolest thing that ever happens in Bellevue, and a fabulous scene just to browse. There are scheduled bands playing concerts for which you need tickets, and a load of completely ad hoc bands in the hallways which you can just show up and enjoy. Not many horns, but a lot of cool solos :)
Best wishes,
Dominic
