So i thought it was about time to update. Ive been out of school for about 3 weeks already and and a lot of stuff has happened. State was a fun time, lol. I stated working at Union Pacific as an Intern again this week. I love that job and its kinda funny how I was fascinated by trains as a little kid. I never would have thought to actually be working for the railroad one day, but here I am. The last thing I have to talk about is... yes the band. We just started practicing regularly (or at least have tried to) so far we've got 4 gigs lined up for this summer and were getting paid for all of them. This means that were at the point were we need sound equipment. Lets see here. Off the top of my head heres a short list of what were getting.

2 Monitors
2 Cabinet Speakers
2 speaker stands (most likely)
Mics (lord knows how many. at least 2 for our singer and back up singer and 7 for my drums)
Mic cords ( 10 or so)
Mixer for drum mics
Mixer amp for singer and guitarists
Mic stands
Headphones for me

So yea all together is gonna be around $1000 and could have been way more.
I already bought my drum mics, headphones, mixer board, and cords (which are about $10 each and i got 7 of them)
Everybody else is being lazy in buying there stuff.
Ive learned that Band equipment isnt cheap lol but hopefully our gigs will pay for it.
Anyway were learning some new songs too. Here is a shourt list of some stuff that weve learned, are in the process of learning or are gonna try learning.
