    1. Men - Nice shirt, long pants, close toed shoes.

We DO NOT want to be a distraction to people and need to put our best foot forward

For an example, you can watch this Service:

  1. In your Planning Center app, make sure you listen to the songs and know your part prior to rehearsal start. We send the song list out 10 days in advance so you should have plenty of time to learn the parts

  2. You will also have the ability in the app called Chartbuilder to learn each part. Use your multitracks.com login to get access to the setlist for the specific service.

  3. Arrive by 7:40am

  4. Bring your own in ear monitors. If you dont have any, we have a very limited few pair. You can always order your own if you would like:

    1. Amazon in ear monitors (Cheaper option) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QKYZ89H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
    2. 1964 Custom in ear monitors (more expensive option and the church has an account at 20% off these amounts) - https://www.64audio.com/collections/custom-iems

  5. Look at the tv on the wall to know the team for the specific service. Example:

  6. Plug your in ears into the ME-1 at your instrument location so you can control your own in ear mix

  7. Your instrument will plug into your specific instrument location as well

Rehearsal:

  1. Rehearsal starts right at 7:45a for the band. For sound check and to get your in ears right for you, please be ready.
  2. Everyone is asked to play and vocals asked to sing a small section of song when the FOH Engineer (Front of house) ask you too.
  3. We will go around to each instrument and vocalist to not only line check to make sure we have a signal at the board, but also for your in ears. If you need:
    1. As each in instrument/vocalists performs, adjust your settings on your ME-1
  4. Once sound check for each instrument/vocalist is done, the MD (Music Director) is in control and will drive the rehearsal. Don’t worry, after song 1, we will pause to see if anyone needs any more or less of anything and then proceed to the remaining songs
  5. We will go through the flow of service with everyone so we are all on the same page
  6. For Rehearsal it is important that we all play just like we would for service.  This not only helps our Front of House but also helps all our in ear mixes be right so that once service starts, we don't have to have too many adjustments. Not only does it help our sound team, but this also helps our Photography team.  We are trying to be less distractive during service and this team needs to capture as many moments as possible during rehearsal as well.
