Full band rehearsals or partial-but-regular?
We’re having this discussion right now. Whether it makes sense to wait until the whole band is available, or whether it’s better to hold regularly-scheduled rehearsals to keep the momentum. We have decided to do both: keep our cherished Friday afternoon rehearsal slots, but also schedule a full band get together no more than 14 days apart. I mean if you really want to do good work as a cover band or a party band – or any type of live band, you’ve got to keep the groove going.

You’re right, keep the momentum going, as long as you can get the practice in. It’s fantastic when the whole band can practice but with all the scheduling problems 5 members have, all living different lives makes it hard to get everyone together.
I agree… as long as all members are keeping on top of their own parts when not rehearsing, partial rehearsals can work… however, full rehearsals are paramount.
