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.

I enjoyed the step by step advice on what I need to do if I was making a band. Nicely detailed!
Well, I agree with you that the google map was pretty annoying, except that we didnt really have trouble finding venues, we had more trouble finding local bands.
In reality a band probably doesnt do all we did, thats what a manager is for I guess. You are right about the moving thing though, youd have to be on the road for a while.
hahaha. it seems like u wouldn't like to be on the road. yea i second the maps, it took too long to research and look for the seats.
I like how descriptive it was. sounds like you liked the project and learned alot.
Yes i also agree that the map's were extra hard to, they took forever.
Nice! i like how you applied description of your process of making your band.
You guys did a great job with your project and i like your bands theme...I also like how you did the 7 key functions
