Here in Cairns that is about right in regards to looking at the pieces
before Christmas with one rehearsal a week. After Christmas, it becomes
twice a week, with sectionals added in there for good measure.
All members then take leave from work for 2 weeks and we travel to the city
of the contest about a week before and go into camp. This allows us to have
3 sessions a day, of full rehearsals.
It is a bit unusual but with the varied form of work among members and the
sporting opportunities we have in the tropics we find that it is the only
time we really can get a full band to rehearsals.  :-))
