practice runs
Preparation before performing
Practice runs are rehearsals or trial attempts before the real performance.
Athletes take practice runs before competition, software teams do practice runs before launch, and speakers give practice runs of presentations.
The phrase emphasizes repetition and preparation: We did a few practice runs before the actual ceremony.
