Cultural Tip
In French, the construction 'tous les + plural noun' is the standard way to express a habitual event (e.g., tous les lundis, tous les étés). For activities like rehearsals, 'répéter' is preferred over 'pratiquer' or 's'entraîner' because it specifically conveys the idea of a group preparing a performance. Also, note that the verb 'répéter' can be reflexive (se répéter) when meaning 'to repeat something said', but here it stays non‑reflexive because it refers to rehearsing.
