Oh, sorry, After reading Abakua's, I forgot why I came over here in the first place!
We have had an unplanned break due to our drummer's schedule at home. We believe it is resolved and that we are all on the same page, commitment-wise. Last night at church, we were asked to play an outdoor function in October, then an hour later, a local coffee house asked us to play the week after that!
We were discussing the gig-getting process at the coffee house table just before he asked us...so now we can fill in the space between now and then to really test the drummers's commitment level to the band ministry.
Meanwhile, our church band has purchased the avion system, and IEMs for everyone but the singers ??? ...and there are many issues to resolve in that band, too! Commitment is surprisingly the biggest one there too. A totally inadequate sound system is another, and the "IEM bandaid" is still another. I applaude the commitment of the musicians on the forum, since I am struggling with folks who don't share mine.
God bless!
