Less separation between band and singers. We have a worship team.

Preparation:

- Have a predetermined repertoire.
- Rotate songs in and out.
- For every song
    - music for all parts with detailed notes
    - overarching song structure and feelings
    - isolated part recordings (especially for singers)
- Have periodic music clinics to learn new songs entering the repertoire.
- Make practice amenable to self-service.
- Balance practice vs. sound-checks.
- Dedicated practice should be only for polish and final fit.

Delegation:

- Multiple worship team leaders. Worship team leaders are responsible for
  directing the band and singers during worship.
- New songs can be suggested by anybody. They would also be a great candidate
  to prepare the song for the repertoire.

Principles:

- Freedom in worship comes when we don't have to worry about the music.
- Worship team leads worship. Our main goal is to facilitate the worship of
  others.
- Excellence feeds inspiration.
- Consistency breeds excellence and make room for improvisation.
- Everyone is learning. Evey level should be able to contribute.
- Each part has a purpose. Deviation from the part should still adhere to the
  part's purpose.
- No part is more important than the whole.
- After we have built the house, then we have room to embellish it.
