+# Introductory Meeting Agenda
+## New Life Rehearsal Band
+
+1. What is NLRB?
+   * Motivation:
+     - Main band is focussed on maximizing performance assuming experienced
+       musicians. Not good right now at growing intermediate musicians.
+     - Music is given on short notice.
+     - Music selection changes.
+     - Lots of songs you need to already know.
+   * Purpose: high quality through preparation.
+     - Material in advance.
+     - Material is correct and vetted.
+     - Material doesn't change.
+     - Make personal practice possible and useful so that corporate practice
+       is effective and efficient.
+
+2. Band Structure
+   * Play at least one a month. 
+
+3. Practice Commitments
+   * 2 hours a week personal practice.  
+     You should be listening to the songs on your own and practicing your part.
+
+   * Biweekly practices for 1.5 hr.
+
+4. Initial Songs
+   * [Defend Us (Jessica DiGiovanni)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hfA--ZwROQ&authuser=0)
+   * [Holy Spirit (Kari Jobe)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPPMSfCdUng&authuser=0)
+   * Blessed Be Your Name
+
+5. First practice overview
+   * 30 minutes discussing philosophy and approach.
+   * 20 min per song
+   * About 10 minutes listening to the song.
+   * 10 minutes going through the major parts.
+
+6. Feedback
+   * When do we want to practice? Tuesdays from 7-8:30pm?
