Song Agenda for Sunday May 28

Hi Everyone,
Here's the song agenda for Sunday May 28 at Jubilee.  Also for Thursday this week, here's the map to the park from the school:  https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Bearspaw+Christian+School,+69+Street+Northwest,+Calgary,+AB/Bowness+Park,+48+Avenue+Northwest,+Calgary,+AB/@51.1390099,-114.2348183,13.36z/am=t/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x537168069555185b:0x7008322920f5f467!2m2!1d-114.1894469!2d51.1869659!1m5!1m1!1s0x53716eb340f25d63:0x7c440bab04128bd7!2m2!1d-114.216914!2d51.097159

Please let me know if you can or can't make it and we'll decide based on weather and attendance if its a go or not.

Song Agenda:

I thought about solos a bit more and realized that it doesn't make sense to do them for another reason (besides the fact that we're really leading working in a church).  The sound guy won't easily know who is who and may have troubles turning the right mic up and the correct time....  Print off the chord charts if you need them - I've attached them below.

Song Agenda for May 24th Chapel

Hi Everyone,
Again, great practice on Thursday - you all sounded fantastic!
Remember, Mr. Schneider is speaking first on 'Spiritual Warfare' in  chapel.  After he's done, we're up and the song order will be something like this:

Shout Unto God   Key of D (but we actually never play that chord - ironic, huh?)
https://youtu.be/IQcgtQ8-Ws4
'The enemy has been defeated...'   (repeat around 8 times, whole band building every time)

  • A.Guitar, bass, and keys (pad) start
  • Drums join, first with that beat we were talking about (snare 1/2 time with toms in between)
  • Getting bigger, guitars get more busy and louder
  • drums full on, tambourine going
  • I'll signal for when we go into....
'Shout unto God with a voice....'   (again repeat about 8 times, but staring with JUST PERCUSSION)
  • First 2 times - JUST DRUMS, TAMBOURINE, and singers FULL ON (you're almost shouting)
  • Next two times - Band joins, but does a single large SHOT on every chord
  • Next four times - everyone FULL ON
  • End on G chord - BIG BIG BIG ending
After the ending, E. Guitar can start right into....

  • Chorus - 2 times - full on all band and singers
