When planning an event, you want to make sure everything goes according to plan. To achieve that, it means rehearsal is a must. Therefore, sitting through a band or wedding DJ’s live rehearsal of their material is also a must. This may sound time consuming, but it will be worth it when all the necessary revisions are made now and not during the actual event or show.
Here are some reasons why you should stick around and sit through a live rehearsal when planning an event.
The Artist Should Be Prepared
Ever heard the saying, “Practice makes perfect”? Yes, it is important to practice as an artist, but practice is something that the musician should be doing on their own. The reason being that there is a difference between practicing and rehearsing.
So what’s the difference between the two? To put it briefly, practice is where the musician shows up not knowing the music, and then you (or as a band) learn the songs together. Rehearsal is where the musician or artist shows up already knowing the song, and you run through them together.
It is important to know the difference because when you’re booking event entertainment, you don’t want your bands to be unprofessional or unprepared.
Rehearsals Means Less Time Wasted
Contrary to what you might think, another reason you should sit through a live rehearsal is because less time will be wasted. This is because you are actually being productive and listening and watching for any mistakes or possible mess-ups made by the band as they play.
For instance, sometimes the audio is off, or sometimes the mic doesn’t pick up the artist’s voice clearly. And most importantly, the most significant benefit of having rehearsals is when everyone shows up knowing the songs or setlist already.
Rehearsals Means Less Stress
Another reason you should sit through a rehearsal is because this can mean less stress for everyone. If everyone shows up on time, knows all the songs, that’s less stress on the leader, as well as the entertainment agency that hired them. Also, you don’t have to worry about everyone knowing their parts or having to teach them. And since, rehearsals can be run through quickly, that’s less time on you and more time for other things.
If your band is practicing, keep in mind there’s nothing wrong with that. However, the main goal is to work to a point where you have them rehearsing. So sitting through a live rehearsal is not a waste of time, it can actually benefit your event and help make for the best show you ever had.
