Rehearsal Band

Commitments expected:

* 2 hours weekly personal practice.
* Regular (biweekly) practice with the full band.
* Play twice a month: Wednesday, Sunday PM
* Set list a month in advance.

Practice Pattern:

* Initial chords provided.
* Each member of expected to listen and learn their own part from the reference
  material.
* Each member should learn the context of their part relative to the music as a
  whole. "How does my part serve the music?"
* Corporate practice should have a defined agenda.
* Two phases to learning material:
  - Learn pieces piecemeal. Focus deeply on each section.
  - Highlights. Hit the intros, transitions, endings. Review rough parts.
* Reasons for practice and commitment are given and justified. We practice
  because we want to, not because we have to.
