EMT rehearsal

So, we’ve just spent the evening working on our EMT presentation, scheduled for tomorrow morning. It’s coming together reasonably well, although I am still a bit nervous about it; I keep running a little overtime, and as usual can’t for the life of me reproduce any particular performance.
