The Jack U rehearsal was non-stop laughs, but at the same time the creative energy in the room was tremendous. Watching Sonny and Wes bounce ideas off of each other was inspiring to say the least. They went back and forth deciding on which tracks to play, how to play them, and last minute tweaks to the visuals.

Wes and Sonny didn't wait until they got to the rehearsal space to start. Here's Sonny playing some tunes in the car ride over.
