Pitch Perfect is the gift that keeps on giving—and how appropriate that, just after Christmas, the cast has bestowed upon us yet another gem of a present (hey, it’s a little late, but we’ll take it). If you might recall, actor Skylar Astin, who plays Jesse Swanson of the Barden Treblemakers in the Pitch Perfect series, is one of the first two movies’ shining stars. But even though Astin left the Treblemakers (and us!) in the third film, that doesn’t mean he’s gone forever. In fact, he was clearly missing the film’s cast when he posted a little something to Instagram on Friday: a clip of rehearsal footage from the first Pitch Perfect—and it’s never been seen before now. Even better? Rebel Wilson—Fat Amy of the Barden Bellas, of course— joined in after his post with a little gift of her own.

“FBF to this never before seen rehearsal footage of PP1!,” Astin captioned the post. “Featuring an invisible @bensplatt (who was probably at a fitting or something) ?” The videos feature the Treblemakers prepping “Right Round” and the “Bright Lights Big City” x “Magic” mashup.

Wilson joined in the fun by releasing her own behind-the-scenes footage on her YouTube channel. It’s the very first rehearsal of the “I Saw the Sign” mashup the Bellas would go on to perform in the ICCA semi-finals. “Back in 2011, we were just getting to know each other and work together as a team,” she captioned the clip. “This is the first rehearsal of our Bella’s semi-final performance for the ICCA’s. Our choreographer AJ would record us so we could learn the routines and get better.”

And for the very first rehearsal ever of the song and choreography, they sound incredible. Check it out—and then get ready to queue up Pitch Perfect for some lazy New Year’s Day viewing:
