If you live in Waterdown and you know about Udrum and how they have a program where they set you up with other people and play a gig at the end of the program, then you know what I'm talking about. Anyways I just joined a band of about 5-6 kids my age (14-15) as a pianist/keyboardist and I think I was the 2nd last person to join. There haven't been any ideas for a name yet but we are being instructed by a music teacher who is helping us practice during our sessions. It's like taking music lessons but we're given a rock band vibe and to see how it feels to be in one. The songs we are practicing are The Beatle's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go". We have two male drummers, a male bassist, a male guitarist, a female guitarist, and a female lead vocalist, and the male pianist/keyboardist would be me. So far we are doing good and I was told to be an exceptional pianist :)
Being the 2nd last person to join, I'm guessing the setlist for our gig to look like this:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Should I Stay Or Should I Go
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
It's a short setlist but it's not meant to be a huge rock concert, but just a small little gig. Think of a little girl's piano recital... that's the kind of gig we're doing, in front of a small audience. Actually the gig is a battle of the bands type gig and we are competing against other bands for a prize of $500. I was disappointed to learn that not every member will be getting $500 each but whatever band wins, gets it. I know it was a "fixed" band but I'm still excited about being involved in a group.
