Breakdown 3/30

*Deep sigh of relief*

YEA GOD!!!!!

You guys did amazing this week - I know I say this every week, but you kicked butt this week! I felt the passion in the worship songs and I saw it on your faces - the stage was rockin' from all the presence you brought to the stage. Everybody played a huge part in this service, and as you could all see, we had a large group to spread the good news to! The final count was somewhere around 315 people!!!!! I don't know how else to thank you all for the hard work and dedication you put into this music team, and I don't want you to think that your work is insignificant.

Backstage during the 10:30 service, I was sitting on the floor waiting to go on stage to sing Amazing Grace, and I couldn't stop praying and thanking God for all of you the entire time. I was brought to tears backstage thinking about how blessed I am to have such a talented, dedicated, and powerful team to lead people in worship each week. You guys are the heart and soul of CCC Madras - don't stop! This is only the beginning...

Here's what's coming this week...

Prelude - When You Were Young by The Killers
Bandstand has "Rock You Like a Hurricane" listed - we are NOT PLAYING THAT.
Here is the link to When You Were Young
Entire band WILL PLAY this song.
Electric guitarist needs to play "familiar lead lick" every time it's heard on the .mp3
I will play melody on keyboard.
I'm not sure how much of this we will do, so learn the whole song please.

Song - Everlasting God
This song is in Bb Major, not G major as listed on the sheet music. Please note that it is charted for a CAPO ON FRET 3! G = Bb ; G/B = Bb/D ; C = Eb ; D = F ; Em = Gm
Vocalists - harmony on pre-chorus and chorus ; we will also sing "Strength will rise..." an octave up at the end of the song, as he does on the .mp3 - please listen to the track if you are unsure of what I'm talking about.
This song has two instrumental breaks - one after the 2nd chorus ; the second after the 3rd chorus - play Instrumental 1 chords for the first break and play CHORUS chords for the 2nd break.

Song - Awesome Is the Lord Most High
Vocalists - harmony on chorus, bridge
BAND: WE WILL NOT CAPO THIS SONG ON 1 - PLAY IN G MAJOR.
This is pretty straight-forward, we all start this song together.

Song - This is Our God
This will be piano ONLY.
Vocalists: This will be sung by Nathan and myself.

Song - One of Us
Courtney is singing this song.
Band: Play exactly to chart and .mp3
Electric guitar needs to play that melodic lead line throughout song.
Acoustic guitar needs to pick during verses, strum during chorus.
Electric guitar has solo after 2nd chorus.
Keep this simple, there is nothing complicated about this song. Nothing fancy in verses, slight build into chorus.

Thank you so much guys for all your hard work! I can't wait until Thursday to see you all again!
