okie these are from my notes:
[JAD]
- for the team to be able to lead people into worship..they HAVE to be unified
- everyones goal shuld only be ONE..& that is leading pplz into worship
- let go of PRIDE when your up there (its not about you..its all about GOD)
- being in the worship team isnt a right..its a privelage
-u guys shuldnt be so serious when your up..have fyb! just kno if your up there for the right reason...your making God smile...
- ..coz EVERYTHING u do on stage is magnificent (wen u apply that last point)
- playing in the worship team can build relationships...
- ENCOURAGE each other
-relationships is the biggest factor in the team
- & guys remember to not only have a"godly" attitude on stage..but also apply it in ur daily lives

[JOEL HOUSTON]
-what makes a band?
a group of people..but are as one,unified,therefore a band can be described as a body (1 Cor 12:12)
-role of the body/band:
*drums are the legs - drums role is to keep the timing right
*bass is the stomach..the middle section..so bass sits on top of drums - bass supoorts the upper body, keeps rest of the body in rythm
*keyboards & guitars are the arms (umm i didnt write the second part for this haha sorri...but yeh..guitar n keboard is...COOL!)
*vocals is the head of the body- the rest of the body responds to what the head wants!

ok here comes the technical stuff they taught us...
they gave us "techniques" on how to make p&w better..there is no rules to p&w..but there are ways to make it flow smoothly for the pplz not to get distracted etc....u guys shuld know all of this..coz u guyrs r alredy awesome..BUT since it was short coz most of it woz practical..ill jus write em down for u guys
- a good trasition:
*OPENING [create anticipation..get the ppl urging to get on the floor to praise God]
*PRAISE [fast songs..upbeat]
*WORSHIP [slower songs]
- it is important not to have any silence between songs (unless u want to say a prayer etc) becoz pplz can get distracted by silence during worship
-DYNAMICS: build up the energy in songs..good to emphasize a point..
so guys..depending on what instruments u r..u guys shuld know when the right time to not play..& also wen to jump in...eg for the song "majesty by hillsong"...the first round can onli be the synth/keys & guitar...then the second round bass & drums jump in softly..then midway the 2nd round u guys realli start to build up & etc...
-you dont have to play songs exactly how they are...for eg the structure...u guys can start of a song with the bridge..then 1st verse..then chorus etc...experiment & find ways to make the song sound better!
-& also...for the experienced pplz..if u guys made up like a cool riff on the guitar..or a fill ins for the drums..or solos etc...make sure it sounds good WITH the rest of the team..not just for u..otherwise it would sound chaotic...so as they say..theres no "I" in "TEAM"...
well thats it..the technical part woz short coz it woz mostly practical n yeh..PEACE!!..any more stuff u guys wna add feel free!
