FREEBIRDS theme?

## For all the songs which the audience asks, asks, and asks.....and the band just has to play.

## Over decades of gigs, these are some of the cover band's standards, ones which local groups do (did in years past) to please the crowd and keep the party vibe going. Ritual redundancies. Some of you may have had your run with these as well, but now it's Soundhaus' turn to do them one-time and enjoy this little guilty pleasure of playing what we all.....at some point.....just like to hear, as it's comfort songs for the soul.

## (I won't tell anyone if you don't).

Happy picking!

April 10 RSVP deadline unless full before that date.

Soundhaus Link (to review and submit song/part choices plus message other members in the session)

When you sign-up on soundhaus, submit your songs in rank preference order.

The more players we have, the fewer songs each can play, but the goal is always 3 minimum unless otherwise stated by you.

Multi-instrumentalists, for now, select each individual part and if wanting to both sing and play, put those selections next to each other. If not, then simply put each selection in rank order to your preference.

All that sing harmony....be sure to include those parts in your choices, even if further down your list. They don't have to be your top picks in order to get them unless it's a higher priority for you, but we want to cover those key parts as well.

If you RSVP and are assigned to a song(s), you are expected to show up by 6:00PM for the 6:30PM start and have your parts learned/practiced ahead of time out of respect for others on your songs doing the same. No group rehearsal. Consider this like a "gig" and not a traditional "jam". Your attendance does impact others...this is a fun, low-key event, but an "event".

If you need to cancel, provide a 72-hour notice, minimum, so Soundhaus can re-assign your parts to others attending. Last minute or "of day" backouts are not appreciated so please think twice as it can result in removal from the group (unanticipated circumstances withstanding).

Once an instrument group is maxed with skilled players, no more in that group will be accepted but you are put on a wait-list.

No novice or amateur-level players please given the "no rehearsal" nature of the event but you are always welcome to come and see if your skill level matches up. I encourage broad participation but group experience takes priority. Band experience a plus.

All fun. No stress. That is the event mantra. Otherwise, what's the point.

Here are videos of past events. And remember, it's not about playing these perfect, but you would be surprised how close many of these get.
