Hi Ft_Louie

It's not clear to me exactly what the intended meaning of your sentence is. It's not a very well written sentence.

Does the sentence mean that Diana plans to begin rehearsing at 6 o'clock (later today) and that she has recently had daily rehearsals beginning at 6 o'clock? If so, then either tense is possible (is rehearsing OR will be rehearsing).

If the intended meaning is to say that an activity (rehearsing) will be in progress at 6 o'clock today (e.g. maybe Diana's daily rehearsals always begin at 5:30 and end at 6:30), then only the future continuous is possible (will be rehearsing).

Take care,
Amy
