Comments on: 5 reasons not to rehearse http://www.forkintheroadmusic.org/2008/09/5-reasons-not-to-rehearse/ My thoughts on life, worship, communication, church, and more Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:35:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Joel Diaz http://www.forkintheroadmusic.org/2008/09/5-reasons-not-to-rehearse/comment-page-1/#comment-181 Joel Diaz Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:43:00 +0000 http://www.forkintheroadmusic.org/?p=297#comment-181 I help out with a youth worship band. I have a volunteer that directs the whole thing. We normally have rehearsal on Sunday nights, but we decided to change that up a couple of weeks ago. Sundays were just too long of a day, and it was taking its toll on us. The students were at church on Sunday morning, choir in the afternoon, small group after choir, and then band rehearsal. We use planningcenteronline.com to help us plan out our services one month out in advance. It also makes the chord charts and non-downloadable mp3's available to our students. They practice at home, and now we meet one hour before our Wednesday night youth worship time to rehearse. We also meet on the last Sunday night of each month to lay out each service. This gives the students in the worship band an opportunity to see how we plan out a worship service, and it also gives them an opportunity to offer some input. This Wednesday will be our first time on this new schedule. Its a little nerve racking, but I think it is going to have a positive impact on the band. I help out with a youth worship band.
