rehearsers
Those who prepare
People who rehearse—practicing performances, speeches, or procedures before the actual event.
The word appears in contexts where multiple individuals prepare together: The rehearsers ran through the scene one more time before the director arrived.
Less common than "rehearsal" as a noun, but useful when emphasizing the people rather than the activity.
