Breakdown 5/31

Prelude - Know Your Enemy by Green Day

We will not play the entire song, but learn it all the way through because we will cut to the end.
Play it exactly as the .mp3
Starts with drums, then electric, then melody (Nathan)
Let's rock it out - should be pretty easy

Song - Majestic
Vocalists - unison on verses / harmony on chorus / harmony on bridge
Band - exactly as .mp3
Nothing special here - just play it exactly as the .mp3
Guitar solo after the second chorus
FLOW: Intro-Verse-Chorus-V-C-C-Solo-B-C-C

Song - For Your Glory
Vocalists - I will sing verse 1 / Nathan verse 2 / harmony on chorus / unison on bridge
Band - exactly as .mp3, EXCEPT that we will start the song with entire band
Play the acoustic intro as if it's the outro of the first chorus.  Reid will kick us into it and we will play the chords on the chart at the beginning, but with open hi-hat as if we're coming out of the chorus
Reid - listen to the interlude after the bridge, there are some tricky off-beat fills... do what you can.  If you can get it, then show off and do it.
FLOW: Intro-V1-C-V2-C-B-B-Interlude-C-C

Song - Jesus Messiah
Vocalists - I will sing both verses / harmony on chorus and bridge
Band - exactly as .mp3
We get closer to playing this exactly right every time... listen closely to the .mp3 and try to nail your part exactly.
FLOW: Intro-V1-C-V2-C-B-C-Outro

Song - The Climb
Katie is singing melody / I will sing harmony
Band - exactly like the .mp3... exactly
This song sounds simple enough that you might just overlook it and not practice it.  Please practice it... this song is SO RECOGNIZABLE that we have to play it and sing it perfectly.
We want it to sound perfect.  Did I say that enough?
FLOW: listen to .mp3 for flow

I WILL be at rehearsal this week since we have new material and my lack of preparation bothered me this past Sunday. See you guys there.
