The time has come. Summer is upon us and we need to assemble the gnarrrrliest House Band possible. Here are the details:
Tyler is directing, Andrew is assisting
We'll choose half the set, the band will choose the other half.
Auditions: May 27th, 6pm
Rehearsals: Tuesdays from 6-8, beginning June 3rd
HB rules:
-Students have to have completed at least one season show.
-Students shouldn't miss more than 2 rehearsals or 1 show, unless approved by Tyler prior to the audition.
-If you audition for (and are accepted on) two instruments, you'll be assigned twice as many songs (not the normal amount split between two instruments). If you don't have the time for that, just focus on one audition.
-Ideally we should have 2-3 Drummers, 3-4 Vocalists, 4-5 Guitarists, 2-3 Bassists
Audition song:
"Ain't It Fun" by Paramore

Don't learn the music video version, radio edit, live version, etc. Only learn the studio version that is linked here. It's 4:56 long (give or take 1 second).
Vocals - Learn the lead AND backup harmonies. If you are having trouble singing this range, talk to Tyler right away. Memorize the lyrics!
Guitar - Learn the rhythm AND lead parts.
Bass - Learn every line. If you have to tune lower, do it.
Drums - Learn every groove and fill.
Keys - We don't have any keyboard students at the moment, but if you want to audition on this instrument, talk to Tyler.
Students will play the song with the other students. We'll play it a few times and the students will switch around.
I'll post more details on the responsibilities of band members and the scoring process in the House Band section of this website.
Sign up at the school and get to work! You have plenty of time to finish this, so I hope to see some new faces this season.
