“Accapella” Video

Hey all,

As promised, here is a quick video of “Accapella” that we have been working on. Use it to practice the rhythm of that last step. Don’t worry if you can’t get it right now, I’ll break down that part when we come back from break.
As many of you have asked, this song is by Jack Zerby.
