Listen Later

Getting prepared for the weekend:

  • Resources in PCO
    • Lyrics
    • Chords
    • REF Track (for vocalists or instruments to try part without hearing their own)
    • Upmixes (to hear individual parts)
    • Service order (to think of transitions ahead of time)
    • Anything else?
    • What is PCO? - platform for all things related to weekend services
    • Why do we use it? - keeps everyone on the same page on what needs to be prepared, all resources in one place
    • How does PCO help me to prepare for the weekend?
      • access to all resources listed above to prepare for service as a whole
      • upmix tracks
        • what are they and why do i need to listen to them? - for listening to individual parts, need to know your own parts so you can come together as a band with excellence
        • why are there only 2 guitar up mix tracks when there are 5 in the song? - many guitar tracks are more to create specific effects, and don’t translate well for one to play live on a weekend (what needs to be executed live vs what not)

          • discuss expectations on learning parts of the song

          REDEFINE WHAT REHEARSAL IS

          • NOT the time for you to learn your part
          • Should have your part at 90-95%for rehearsal
          • Rehearsal is where you take your already prepared parts and put them together to see what changes are needed in order to blend as a band
          • am i expected to learn it exactly? - all based on context (what’s the focus of that song or section of a song?)
          • what are some key aspects of the parts we should focus on?
            • go through general instruments on the weekend
            • Keys/Guitars
              • lead parts
              • voicings
              • Drums
              • Bass
              • Vocals
