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
- Drums
- Bass
- Vocals
