Playing Together as a Worship Band: Maranatha! Praise Band with Angela Dean and Bobby Brock

This book lays the basics for effective team ministry. Whatever role you play in your church's worship ministry - leader, director, instrumentalist, vocalist, or sound technician - you will learn the essentials as well as professional tips for building a cohesive sound and approach.

Playing Together as a Worship Band may be used by itself, or with the Maranatha! Worship Leader Workshop video of the same title for a dynamic combination of print and audio-visual instruction and demonstration. This book covers

• The Big Picture - What a worship team is all about, what's unique about a worship band, the role of team members
• Meet the Team - Worship leader, music director, musicians, singers, and sound technicians
• Let's Rehearse - Why rehearsal is so important and how to get the most from it
• Bringing the Music to Life - The "100 Percent Rule," opening the worship team's toolbox, dynamics, vamps, breakdowns, the big payoff, and diamonds
• Putting It All Together - Continuity, mirroring, final preparations, "real world' service models, and the variables

Here's what it takes to produce a tight sound and service-oriented approach that help others experience God's presence through music.
