That's a very good question at the moment. Why DO I go to band?
I go first and foremost to make quality music. I want to have a laugh with mates but that comes secondary to what the whole point of the organisation is.....music making!
Some people turn up and it's like a social club to them. Don't want to sound miserable about this but these people mess about during rehearsals (giggling and talking over the MD), don't seem to do much practice at home and just don't seem to care about what noise the band is making.
I'm addicted to banding and some people might read this and think that I should lighten up but at the end of the day, I want to be enjoying playing, be proud of the sound the band produces and then be able to have a laugh!
Also decided recently that we spend too much time in the bandroom and not enough time doing gigs, which is what it's about surely?
Sorry to be a downer on an otherwise

thread!!
