The bands instrumentation is somewhat limited to drums, bass, guitar, and trumpet. So could you please give me an idea of some songs that fit (or are close) to this instrumentation and that would be appropriate in a restaurant/club setting.
Please do not list songs that have piano solos or real heavy keyboard in them because we do not have a keyboard player. A little rhythm or background is okay though. THANKS!
I’m president of a concert band that recently decided to transition from a concert repertoire to a jazz band/big band for a multitude of reasons. With the new genre of our group, we plan on marching a lot of parades over the summer and hamming it up for onlookers. However, we need a gimmick – a look/feel/story.
Does anyone have any ideas?
A lot of people claim and know that I’m a great drummer, but I’m going to try out for the High School Jazz Band and I’m not sure what the instructor would really be looking for. I really don’t know if he’s looking for syncopation, improv, etc. The question may be a bit bold, but I would appreciate if anyone has ever done this before.
I want to know, how can I start a very famous heavy metal band.
Of course, the band might be not very famous at start, but I just want to know. We will need to record our songs in a garage, or anything like that or what? Then how can we make ourselves… famous?
We will be covering the Rippingtons, especially their hit “Tourist in Paradise.” Any creative names would be greatly appreciated. This is just for a school band, the name will not be copyrighted or anything.
Can the band members just get buy with the chords, lyrics and rhythm without the melody while the singer sings the melody?
Ok I am currently a flute in Advanced Band but now I have become EXTREMELY interested in joining Jazz Band. I have started to get the idea of playing Alto Saxophone but I do not know about the supplies you need! Can anyone please tell me the supplies I will need and the similarities between these two instruments (if there are any)? Thanks.
What Is The Music Video Where A Band Is Playing In A Room, Which Eventually Is Filled Up With Water?
There is a music video i just thought of, but do not know the song or band. In the video, the band members are in a room which is filling up with water; it is an execution. There is a window in the room where there are on lookers watching the band eventually drown in the water. I’m pretty sure that this video is from the late 90s to early 00s.
I’m going to join the jazz band next year and was wondering what the best type of guitar(not like electric or acoustic) would be…
Like the actual brand and model…
Thanks!
I’ve known Mrs.D for about a year now and my experiance with her teaching me has not been pretty. First off whenever I brake or lose parts of my instrument she’ll yell and scream at me as if I perposfully blew up the world and I was happy about it. Do you think I’m happy when I can’t enjoy playing my trombone? Plus she put me in an “expendible” position as 4th trombone. Besides the base I play the lowest notes in the band, and she still doesn’t appriciate my work! Everyone else in our band agrees with me. We come there on our own spare time at 7:00 in the morning, 4 days a week just to be critizied and yelled at. Nagging is perfectly fine, but it can done in private, and not in front of the entire jazz band (including a very very cute guy). I think it can also be done in maybe 4 words such as “Get your trombone fixed.” ,not a long run on sentence about how stupid I am. About one third of the jazz band started to conspire a strike, but it didn’t work. What should I do?
