I had the privilege of leading a <strong data-start=\"141\" data-end=\"161\">\u201cHow-To\u201d session<\/strong> at <strong data-start=\"165\" data-end=\"196\">Churchfront Conference 2024<\/strong>, where I walked through <strong data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"268\">how a sound engineer should run a rehearsal<\/strong>. This is one of the most common topics that comes up in coaching calls and in our accelerator program, so I wanted to break it down step by step.<\/p><p data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"689\">If you\u2019re running sound for your church, you know that <strong data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"519\">rehearsal is more than just pushing faders<\/strong>. It\u2019s about creating an environment where musicians can <strong data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"618\">focus on worship, not technical issues<\/strong>. When we do our job well, the band is free to do theirs even better.<\/p><p data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"800\">So let\u2019s talk about how to <strong data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"797\">run a rehearsal efficiently, reduce stress, and set everyone up for success<\/strong>.<\/p><hr data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"805\" \/><h2 data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"853\"><strong data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"851\">Step 1: Prepare Before Anyone Arrives<\/strong><\/h2><p data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"985\">A <strong data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"913\">great rehearsal starts before the band even walks in<\/strong>. The more prep you do ahead of time, the smoother everything will go.<\/p><p data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1463\">\u2705 <strong data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1014\">Know the Band Members<\/strong> \u2013 I make sure I know everyone\u2019s name so I\u2019m not calling out <em data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1092\">\u201cHey, drummer!\u201d<\/em> over the talkback mic. It\u2019s a simple respect thing.<br data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1147\" \/>\u2705 <strong data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1174\">Check the Stage Setup<\/strong> \u2013 I verify that every mic, DI, and monitor is in place and tested.<br data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1244\" \/>\u2705 <strong data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1268\">Review the Setlist<\/strong> \u2013 I check Planning Center and make notes on any unique elements in the songs.<br data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1349\" \/>\u2705 <strong data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1373\">Confirm Tech Needs<\/strong> \u2013 If a guitarist needs stereo XLRs or the MD needs a mic, I get it ready ahead of time.<\/p><p data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1636\">I also reach out to the worship leader or band members beforehand if I have any questions. This way, when they walk in, they know I\u2019m already thinking about their needs.<\/p><hr data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1641\" \/><h2 data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1685\"><strong data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1683\">Step 2: Make the Band Feel Valued<\/strong><\/h2><p data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1795\">Before I start adjusting faders, I do something just as important: <strong data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1792\">I check in with the team as people<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1909\">\ud83c\udfa4 <em data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1858\">\u201cHey, how\u2019s your morning going?

If a musician feels <strong data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2000\">supported and respected<\/strong>, they\u2019ll <strong data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2039\">play with more confidence<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2201\">When I create a <strong data-start=\"2060\" data-end=\"2090\">calm, prepared environment<\/strong>, it reduces stress and lets everyone focus on <strong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2198\">why we\u2019re really here\u2014leading the congregation in worship<\/strong>.<\/p><hr data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2206\" \/><h2 data-start=\"2208\" data-end=\"2268\"><strong data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2266\">Step 3: Capture the Band\u2019s Attention for Soundcheck<\/strong><\/h2><p data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2359\">Once everyone is set up, I grab my <strong data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2321\">talkback mic<\/strong> and make sure the band can hear me.<\/p><p data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2429\">\ud83d\udd90 <em data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2427\">\u201cCan you guys hear me in your in-ears?
