Weekend Warriors: There is Nothing like Playing In A Band

There is nothing like playing in a band...

Weekend Warriors focuses on just two things, playing great music and having fun.

There’s no better way to get back to playing music than joining Weekend Warriors. As a Weekend Warrior you’ll be playing with other musicians of a similar level and playing the music you love, from Daddy Cool to Snow Patrol.

What’s more Weekend Warriors is fun, the Weekend Warriors program takes away all the hassles of organising rehearsals and gigs, leaving you to get on with want you want to do… making great music.

Let the good times roll!!

Weekend Warriors is an adventure that begins with a jam and ends with a gig.

The Weekend Warrior program provides all the latest gear, the rehearsal space, a coach and even the other members of your band! After the jam you’ll rehearse one night a week for four weeks and then finish off with a gig in a local club for your friends, family and fellow Warriors. Again it’s all arranged, the Weekend Warrior program provides the staging, the sound, the lighting and even the roadies. All you have to do is show up, have fun and be a star!!

What gear do I need for the jam?

How does NONE sound? You are welcome to bring your guitar or bass but that is all. No amps or keyboards will be needed as Engadine Music will provide them for you. Just bring yourself and a sense of adventure.

If I decide to stay?

When the commotion has died down the coaches will form bands of 3 to 6 members looking at varying skill levels, preferred styles and general sound of different combinations. Our skilled observers will form the bands so don't go getting any ideas of your own supergroup at the first jam session!Those who are still keen after the jam will meet soon after to learn which band they have been placed into and to organise rehearsal times. In the rehearsal you will prepare a 30 minute set to be played at your first awe-inspiring gig!

Rehearsing for the big gig

It is extremely important that all participants give their best at the rehearsals. Being prepared before hand with some home reheasal will be a critical factor in your band's success. A confident rehearsal will make for a sensational performance.

And on the big night

Grab as many of your relos, friends and anyone else you can think of and encourage them to witness a performance of great magnitude (being as humble as your ego will permit of course). Polish up the axe or your vocal chords and prepare to rock. All equipment including lights and PA will be supplied at a venue. The more people the better the gig. All profits from the cover charge will be donated to a local charity of our choice.
