Looking for interviewees...

to provide insight for a book on band dynamics.  I would like to outline the magic behind a cohesive band.  Many talented bands die because they don't get along or struggle with outside priorities. 

Individuals or Groups, Fresh or Mature Bands, Any Style, Anonymous or Identified

Questions: send answers to...  thebook@coachpamela.com

Please answer any of these you can.  You can be as specific or general as you would like.  If you would like to provide your answers anonymously please state this and I will not divulge any identifying particulars.   Sometimes the simplest questions provide the best answers.  It depends on how you decide to answer it.

Please include a contact email address in case you are chosen to be interviewed further.
Thank you.

Tell me about yourself, your band?

How did your current members come together? (How did you meet?  How long have you known each other?)

How many member changes in this band have you had?

How many other bands are you currently playing with?

Do you do things together outside of playing music?

Do you have regular (non-rehearsal) band meetings? (Having drinks before a gig doesn't count.)

Do all members have outlined responsibilities?

What is the ultimate goal for your band?

Do you also have immediate monthly and yearly goals?

Does every member have the same vision for the band?

What is the most difficult aspect of being in the biz?

How do you handle creative disagreements?

How do you handle the varying personalities?

When the band is "off" what is typically the cause?

What have you found to be the key to your success?

What have you learned through your failures?

What would you say to a group just starting out?

Do you have a day job that gels well (time and money) so you can continue to pursue the band?

Are your relationships (friends, spouses) supportive?

Do you feel that you have a good idea of what you want out of life?

Do you know exactly what to do to get it?

++ Any last words? ++

** Coach Pamela is a "Kick Butt Performer's Coach"… 
assisting groups and individuals with developing priorities, balancing band life with day jobs, relationships within and outside of the band and the passion of the art.  When you are surrounded by "yes people" it is important to have an impartial facilitator to give it to you straight, to kick your butt when it needs to be.  You have agents and managers to handle the band as an entity.  You need a coach to guide the most important part of the band, its members, to a life of balance.  **

Thank you very much for your input

Do you have a hard time keeping your band/team on the same page when it comes to practice, goals, and ambitions?

Is it a struggle to keep the relationships of the group in line?

Do you find it difficult to balance a job, family, and your passion?

Is there a giant space between who you are and who you want to be?
