The Band Project 2

The band project was a fun experience, and it was quite annoying at some points, having to find seats and venues. It showed me that starting a band isn't as simple as just going to a theater and playing. You have to plan things out, and you have to take the prices, and the seats, you have to make backstage passes, you have to make shirts and merchandise for fans. You have to do so much, you need transportation, you need lodging, you need to use the money you have wisely. The aspects of being in a band is not full of greatness, but it does have it's benefits. In the end, you have a lot of fun with your band members, and you make a lot of money, after losing a lot of money, hey, it takes money to make money. All the 7 key functions were present during this project, especially distribution and pricing. The reality of making a band, is a difficult one. So if your wanting to join the band life, then be prepared to live life on the road, cause there is consistent movement all over the country. And you need to make new material once in a while, and you don't have a lot of time. If you want to start the band life, I have 2 words for you, Good Luck.
