Re: Band Issues
boy, been there done that for 30+ years. Nothing worse than preparing and practicing your parts and guys show up with "what key is this in again". I'd go for "the talk", tell them that if you're going to take the time away from family (or whatever) to do this you want to sound really good, not mediocre. You don't need to practice to be mediocre. Therefore, you'd expect everyone to sound really good given their abilities, and put in the time. Otherwise, you might be better thinning the herd, working on your craft with one or two others that sound good and along the way some better musicians might pop up. Very frustrating I know. Band is only as strong as your weakest link.
