thisnameistaken Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 If they rehearse at that time they're not proper musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmpires Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I've done that. of course the band leader provided coffee donuts and bacon sandwiches, it was all good. I do prefer rehearsals in the morning, that's when I'm at my peak. (i'm a morning person) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the need to be honest. I've done theatre rehearsals at 9am,and had to drive for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 My band rehearse at 10am some Saturdays, it means me leavng home at 8.30, we're usually finished by 5pm, which is nice as it gives me the evening to do normal-people stuff if we're not gigging.

teej Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 When I'm working in the street (which is most Saturdays) I need to be at the chosen pitch by 8am. Some very popular towns, make that 7am to beat Peruvians etc. Means I'm often up at 5-5.30am on a Saturday. Don't often go out drinking on a Friday night!

Kongo Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Every Wednesday and Thursday my band is up rehearsing till 1am, so that's in the morning. Get back about 2 in the morning, go bed...wake up at 7 for work. Hated it when the band was just starting out but now I look forward to it, you get used to silly times. Proves how into it your are.
