"Our first rehearsal was January 4th. We went over to Paramount Studios around 7am. We met up with the choreographer and co-producer Zachary Woodlee. He told us that we were going to perform 4 Minutes with the Cheerios (the Cheerleaders from McKinley High), Kurt and Mercedes. We had to learn a dance routine, which really wasn't that hard, since we already have to learn dance routines for certain songs we play in the band. We rehearsed that day with just the Cheerios, until Mercedes and Kurt appeared for a moment to see what was going on. Sue also made an appearance along with the other producers. It felt amazing seeing all those actors and producers just watching us perform and tell us that we were great. We rehearsed that day until 6pm. Before we left, we got measured for the uniforms that we were going to wear the day of the recording. The second time we met was the actual day of the taping, which was at Bernstein High School on January 25th. We started at 8 am. We met most of the cast of Glee and it was truly an amazing experience. They were really nice and told us we were doing a good job. I always thought being an actor was rather simple but we rehearsed and rehearsed all day until 4pm. We had a couple of breaks, in which we would eat or just waited for our turn to perform again. It wasn't so much that we rehearsed to get it right, but more like making amendments to the dances, the routine, and just filming from different angles each time. Each time we rehearsed, something was different. Either the crowd was there, there was actually no noise and just recording us move around, there was just cheering, etc. It was a tiring but a fun experience that I would definitely would like to do again."
