We heard this band practicing from behind the hedge in the flower garden, and we were drawn to come closer, in fact all the way across the Pavilion lawn to the edge of the amphitheater, which was closed off. There was a group of groupies hooping. We sat down on the wall and listened to the entire rehearsal, clapping after each piece, as more people gathered around. Even from this distance, I felt drawn to the drummer of the band, whose energy made me look up from my cellphone and somehow feel as though he was noticing me (almost certainly an illusion as he took up maybe 64 pixels of my vision). Someone mentioned there was going to be a free concert in the evening, so we came back and thoroughly enjoyed it, in spite of the rain.
