Instructions for all participants
Students and their friends are invited to participate.
If you do not know what songs to play, ask Mr. Turner for suggestions.
Have your guitar in good playing condition. Be sure you have good
strings on your guitar but don't change your strings the day of the concert.
Change at least a week before the concert. Have a guitar checkup at Humble Music
Center.
Get together with other students and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, and
practice.
Meet the other students at the concerts and work up songs together.
Be in tune when you get on stage. Ask Mr. Turner or the advanced
students to help you get in tune. We are there to help you.
Try to project stage presence. Smile and have a good time. Everyone
watching is there to enjoy and they are not going to be critical if you make a mistake.
Bring lawn chairs.
Bring relatives and friends
Bring your guitars, cables, picks and drumsticks.
Do
not bring amplifiers and drums. You must use our amps and drums.
You may want to bring an ice chest with sodas.
Do not twiddle! Twiddling is playing guitar or drums while I am getting your
partners plugged up and ready to play.
Be prompt! Go from one song to the next and know your order of songs
when you get on stage.
If you sing, keep your mouth very close to the microphone. The P.A. doesn't provide miracles. Sing with confidence directly into the microphone.
Use dynamics. Vocals should be heard over the guitars. Listen closely. Turn down the volume on your guitar when someone is singing.
Don't rush the tempo. Students tend to play songs too fast when performing because they are nervous. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry.
Be in tune, be punctual, and be ready. Face the audience. Relax and smile but most of all have fun. It's only a jam session.
Any Dads that would walk through the parking lot occasionally for security would be appreciated. Report any improprieties to Mr. Turner.
