[Trombone-l] Dancing with the Stars

[zemry1]

How was the experience of Dancing with the Stars? How many practice sessions
are there, if any? Is the music arranged especially for the show?

Most of the live TV shows you see today [even dubious shows like 
"American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars"] are performed LIVE by 
LIVE musicians. Once in a while, something is pre-recorded. It might be 
the opening title music and a few "bumpers"--the music used to take the 
show in/out of commercial breaks-- and maybe some of the music for the 
[non-competing] guest acts.  I get to sub once in a while on "Dancing 
with the Stars" and that is almost ALL live music. The only 
pre-recorded material might be the opening credits.
