Hey Everybody,
I know there must be a few directors, frontmen, chairmen, people who are concerned with the presence of you co-musicians on rehearsals.
i'm chairman / frontman and 1st sax of a party wind/brass band. We are quite a relax group, some people just picked up their instrument again just a year ago some of us have been playing 20+ years quite a mixed group.
our "gigs" aren`t paid ones but we tag along with a another club(the ones with the pointy hats in the background) during carnaval (its hard to explain: cultural difference) to give you an idea:
yes there is allways a lot of beer involved during gigs, not during rehearsel and I'm not playing with them ont this vid. This is during the brake from my party/cover band (stage is behind them).
so fun is the first thing that counts, second is beginning and ending together, third is tuning.
we are bigger then ever now reaching to 26 members currently, but still struggling with the presence during rehearsels, and performances. We only rehearse from oktober to march, but the number of people showing up is still to low. And today I had to call off the rehearsel with only 6 of 26 people who were available tonight.
how do other bands/ensembles etc. keep up numbers? I know I'm keeping the music diverse even arranging own covers for our group.
share you opinions, tips and advise. I'm sure we arent the only club having the same problem.
P.S.
this isn`t breakfast but I couldnt fit it in elsewhere, so this is more of a supper subject.
