Organizing our first rehersal

On Friday, Tegan and I booked a music practice room in order to practice with our band. We scheduled it for Wednesday morning, during the late morning, from 9:00 to 9:30. We then went and spoke to the head of the music department Dave Parsons, who told us how to open and unlock "the armadillo room" in order to hold a rehearsal there on Wednesday. This meant we changed our booking time and location, which created a more ideal time for our group and the band members since it was sure we all had free time during that 30-minute slot. 

I then contacted all the members of our cast band, Lottie, Connie, Gina, and Cat, and informed them about the time, and location of our first rehearsal. We planned to hold this rehearsal in order to "test" the dynamics of the band members altogether, and see their attitude, character, and instrumental playing. 

Bash plans to bring in his guitar for Connie, and there are already drums set up in the armadillo room, and Cat will provide her own bass for the rehearsal. I sent Lottie the lyrics, so she could familiarize herself with the lyrics before that morning. 

Unfortunately, the A1 students were told they needed to go to a mandatory talk that morning, and we were told only the night before, and suddenly, half our band had gone AWOL. So, we rescheduled for Thursday lunch, at 1:30, until 1:50.

We wanted to hold this rehearsal simply to test and see the dynamics between the band members and have them familiarize themselves with the song and each other.

 

In order to keep us organized and in contact, rather than message and email everyone individually, I created a WhatsApp group chat where we are able to contact the members all together.
