# New Life Rehearsal Band
## Purpose
## Rehearsal and Performance Schedule
NLRB has a dedicated rehearsal twice monthly in the first and third weeks of
the month. This will tentatively by on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:00pm, but the
days and time may change to fit the schedules of band members.
We will typically lead worship twice a month, once for a Wednesday evening
service and once for a Sunday evening service. These will generally be in the
latter half of the month, but not on the same week.
The music we will play will be chosen at least a month in advance and we will
spend the month practicing and rehearsing this selection. Parts for the singers
and lead sheets for the musicians will be available as soon as the song
selection is announced.
Rehearsals will have a pre-set agenda. I don't want to waste your time being
unorganized or unplanned. The other side of this coin is that we need to have
our parts and music learned before rehearsal so that you are not wasting
other's time.
## Philosophy/Principles
* Rehearsal is time for the band to learn to play together, not time for us to
individually learn the song.
* We should be practicing the music regularly on our own time to learn and
master our part.
### Band Leaders' Commitments
* The set list is determined at the beginning of the month.
* Correct reference material, music, and parts are available at the same time
the set list is announced.
* Rehearsals are planned and have a pre-determined agenda.
* Rehearsal time is used efficiently.
### Band Member Commitments
* Regular weekly practice (suggested 2 hours).
- Learning the material we will perform.
- Stretching our own abilities and growing as musicians.
* Attendance at all scheduled rehearsals.
