PLANNING
Music is a business. You have to decide how seriously you want to pursue your personal enjoyment versus making money. This is not to say that you can't have both and sometimes if you plan carefully you can have a rewarding experience in every way.
Many of you have played music on different levels and it's good to talk to other musicians to get ideas and learn from their experience. Some musicians are happy to rehearse together only, some are happy to do cover songs and others write and play original content and go for the big time. No matter what you decide, the planning of your endeavor is a most often ignored and important part of your success.
SELECTING MEMBERS
The most critical part of having a good band is finding members that can play and get along. You don't have to be best friends but it helps as you are going to be spending a lot of time trying to be creative with these people.
Planning your song list before you start selecting band members is also important. You will better know what you need and you can always make adjustments once you get started.
In my opinion, there are two critical areas that must be covered first. One is the rhythm section and the other is lead singing.
Drummers, Bass Players, Guitar, Horn, and Keyboard players can be great solo players and poor band members. It's so easy to fall in love with soloists who can "play the heck" out of their axe. What you really need is a simple driving drummer and bass player that can keep time and provide the bottom. A really good guitar and/or keyboardist can enhance the sound by playing complimentary rhythms. Of course if you can find players that can do these basics and play great solos and fill parts then you really have an advantage.
There are many good bands around that become mediocre because they have mediocre singing. If the audience is not responding it most likely is the singing. When selecting a singer sometimes it's good to have some friends come to the audition rehearsal. They can give you valuable feedback from a non-musician perspective. If a singer can't connect with the audience, your whole band disconnects.
If you want to do three or four part harmonies selecting band members becomes very difficult. It's hard to find good players that sing too. If that is what you want, plan for lots of extra time selecting members as they are hard to find. Tell anyone asking for more pay because they sing and play an instrument to hit the road.
Sometimes a male and female band mix or varying ages can be a problem. Make sure everyone is clear about the content of your plan for songs and that sex and sax are two completely different things.
If you can, before your final selection of musicians, spend some time chatting with them. Get an idea about their lifestyle and interests outside of music. Find out how much time they can devote to the band. Make sure everyone has input in the selection, even your quiet or shy members.
Stage presence is also important. Not that everyone has to do a James Brown imitation or become Rodney Dangerfield but at least get into the music, smile, or do something.
Musicians have egos. That can be a good thing. Make sure your members will have the willingness to compromise a little. If you can keep a band together for a year, it will be twice as good from when you started. Every year that you're together, sit down and expand your plan to do more challenging things. Avoid players who only want to do things they know. If you're not learning, playing with better musicians, and trying new things for everyone you will run out of gas.
