On Saturday February 24th, 2024 I was given the opportunity to run our worship rehearsal for the first time. This rehearsal consisted mostly of vocalists, so we focused on running through the songs with Playback for MultiTracks. After opening up in prayer we worked out what keys worked best for each vocalist leading a song. Prior to this rehearsal I made song maps to guide the singers through the layout of the songs, informing them on cues, specific harmonies, and more. I noticed that creating and sending out these song maps ahead of time was very helpful for the confidence while performing and the fluidity of our rehearsal. On Sunday morning, the bass player joined us for the pre-service rehearsal, and afterwards we experimented with balancing the bass volume and tone with the tracks since the bass was connected to its own amp and seemed to be getting lost in the mix. This helped me think about what approach to take to get a good mix and balance in house with the tracks, piano, bass, and vocals. The worship portion of the service went well, and I ended up shortening the call to worship that initially wrote to fit into the context of the service. I enjoyed preparing for the rehearsal and leading it, and it taught me a lot about considering how to curate the worship rehearsal space for those involved to be healthy, supportive, strengthening, and productive. I also got to think about the importance of considering the experience of those in attendance in the audience, and how details in our worship such as transitions, calls to worship, and more impacts them.
