ReplyDeleteStill working on the set for this... but when you get a chance, listen to this song I want to add. And guess who is going to sing it... Darren (Peter Criss) Sowers. !! I twisted his arm. He's going to come out from behind the drums and we'll get a road case or something cool for him to sit on and he'll sing this great great song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqybaIesbuA
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be awesome.
Looking forward to this. I like it when people step out and do different things.
DeleteAwesome!!
DeleteWe are able to get into the band shell at 5:00 PM to begin setup on Wednesday. Here is the other information regarding the evening from Steve:
ReplyDelete"The format for the night is we introduce you at 7pm; at 7:45pm I'll take a few minutes to make announcements as ask for sponsors. You have it to 8:30pm. The attendants need to close the doors at 9pm, so we need to get equipment in front of the doors as quickly as possible. Also, for setup, we've found it to be better when you're as far back in the shell as you can. This helps with sound and lighting. If you're in front of the door line the lights are no good for you. It gets dark around 7:50pm. Remember only two cars can park at the band shell and they cannot block the walk paths."
The chart for Good Good Father is posted. Please bring it with you on Sunday morning.

This would totally be up to Scott, but would we be able to swap Mountaintop with The Same Power for him?
DeleteI am fine with that
DeleteMountaintop has that big drum intro - would work good in the concert setting - powerful. No?
DeleteI was trying to incorporate more recent songs that we haven't done in Hagerstown before. I'm fine either way, "The Same Power" just resonates more with me.
DeleteIt would be good if we could practice Monday or Tuesday night. Can anyone make that?
ReplyDeleteI could make Monday, but not Tuesday. Dominic could definitely not make Monday, but maybe Tuesday.
DeleteBethany can if its not too late
ReplyDeleteThat's great Julie - we can do Bethany's songs first if we get together.
ReplyDeleteTuesday works for me
DeleteI could help set up Tuesday nite, and we can leave up for Thursday/Sunday.
ReplyDeleteTuesday works for me after 7:00.
ReplyDeleteDominic texted me this morning and said that if we decide on Tuesday night, please let us know as soon as possible and he will try to cancel his overtime.
ReplyDeleteAlso, an update on the song list - we are removing Happy Day because the second set will most likely be too long. Let me know the final word on "The Same Power" and "Mountaintop." For now, I'll just list it in the post with "Mountaintop."
I am fine singing either song. Depends on the vision of whoever put the list together.
DeleteLet's confirm Tuesday as a practice for whomever can make it since Darren and Dominic can make it - it will make it a good way to go through some stuff.
ReplyDeleteDominic canceled his OT, so just let him know what time.
DeleteI will be there. What time? 7?
DeleteIt looks like 7pm might work. so we could get an early start. If you can't be there at 7 though - no worries - we can start discussing the set and running through individual pieces as soon as anybody gets there. I will be there at 7.
DeleteI cannot do Tuesday
Deletethe REPLY button is not working for me so i'll continue here with regards to Scott's comment: "I am fine singing either song. Depends on the vision of whoever put the list together."
ReplyDeleteThe vision was that we would play the first two songs... Rooftops is conservative and safe musically, In the Secret is a little bit fancy with the herky jerky type of dance groove, I figured that Mountaintop would come in with that rock solid drum beat and it would be the moment that we lock in and start choppin' wood. :) That was the vision. Many a slip 'twixt the cup and lip. But that was the idea... The Same Power might be just as rock solid of a groove - it just doesn't hit you over the head with it at the very start. It will work as long as we play whichever song with authority and power. Mountaintop is a slammer if we play it that way.
Frannie will be here tonight (Tuesday) at 7pm.
ReplyDeleteI got the planning I had to get done tonight finished, so I will be there tonight
ReplyDeleteSince we didn't run through Mountaintop last night all together - I think it would be a safer road to just play The Same Power. I am concerned about some timing issues that can make or break Mountaintop - I honestly forgot about some of the things in that song that require some rehearsal to get right - and we just ran out of time last night. Can we get a consensus here that we will do The Same Power?
ReplyDeleteSounds good. And now I'm a little worried that you ran out of time during practice since you were there for over three hours. Someone is going to have to let me know if there are things I need to know before tonight!
DeleteI am fine with either song but we did not run through any of the same power last night. Although I am not worried with things like this, others may be so my suggestion would be run through it acoustic sometime before we start. See you all this evening. I will be there around 5.
