2007-09-28 MK Worship Band Practice

Hi Band,

 

As usual we will be having practice tommorow from 2-4 PM in the AC on center.

 

The J.V. Band (and all new members) will be watching 1 or 2 Episodes  of the Seminar for the Performing Artist videos by Tom Jackson that we (Varisty Band) have already watched.

 

This will give the varisty band to do some planning for some of our upcoming worship nights, fundraisers, etc.

 

Here's what I'm thinking the various positions could try and accomplish tommorow.

 

Calendar Coordinator/Set Planner

-Orientation to the Google Calendar (This can be used to plan our calendar ahead, with the benefit that we can all have access to it. I can give the orientation.

-November 26th possible date for Monday night whee Worship band leads/plans the entire night.

- Discuss Worship plan for upcoming evangelistic night

- Determine set plan for Monday.

 

Equipment Manager

- Connect with Fundraiser about what equipment is needed, make a list together, set deadline to submit to Bob for Apporval.

- Work on Equipment Guidelines. (This is especially needful for training and equiping the J.V Band members)

- Work on "Pit-Stop" setup/tear down plan.

- Begin investigating the possibility of using both sound systems

- Discuss whether current stage arrangement needs to be modified.

 

Fundraiser

- Lead the discussion about planning for an upcoming fundraiser.

- Work with Set planner/ Calendar Coordinator on set plan for Monday

 

Technical Director

-Discuss maintenance of the e-mail distribution list with Jason.

-Investigate using the Google e-mail address (DallasMkBand@gmail.com) for sending out updates.

- Discuss with Jason plan for weekly anouncements.

-Discuss Blog with Jason. (Topics to cover RSS Feeds, Links band members social networking site, blog layout, further discussion on content.)

- Discuss potential new strategy for powerpoints (Use google documents instead of powerpoint?)

- Discuss Potential use for the Thumb Drive, (Transporting Powerpoints, running Open Office from Thumb drive for creating powerpoints thereby ensuring consistency in layout, file types, etc)

 

Secretary

- After discussions above, get reports from other band members, in order to concisely summarize decisions/plans that have been made. (For later posting a summary to the blog.)

- Begin Brainstorming a procedure/standards for adding new music to the repoitoire ( i.e.approval by the Music Manager, minimum # of copies, Minimum font size, etc.)

 

Questions or comments let know,
