Nobody said It would be easy!
The only question is how much of
your time and energy you are willing
to give. The amount will strongly
determine the
possible end goals of the band.
The
first step is to commit to the number of rehearsals per week. One practice hour per day is a bare minimum to make
anything happen, and anything more than three is a recipe for not getting other important things done. So be sure to check it as you go along to make
sure that you have not given up more of your life than you feel comfortable.
If
some people in a band are intent on “making it” while others just
want to have a good time making music and having fun, you are dead in the
water. The gung ho members will continuously resent the lack of commitment on
the part of the casual guys, and the casuals will similarly resent the endless
impinging on their lives for band duties.
That is why The Eustis Middle School Mustang Band is a family and a team! We work together to inspire each other.
