Work Week Jam Session

The idea is to have a selection of musical equipment available in a room during the work week. Mozillians who play instruments can come down get together with other musicians and either Jam something or work on a specific tune whether it's original material or a cover. We'd be looking for singers, guitarists, bassists, drummers etc.

The idea is that we'd rehearse during downtime in the evenings so that we could play a set at the end of the week.

Before we get this idea off the ground the first part of this is finding out if people are interested in doing this and if there is enough interest from Mozilla musicians.

Instrument Hire List Draft

Here's what we'd likely need to hire. Note: Don't add to this it'll be updated based on the table above. If you're a brass/woodwind player it'll probably be possible to bring an instrument as the size wouldn't be too much of a problem (That is assuming we're not talking about tubas :)).

Description Quantity
PA + Mixer (this will be room-size dependent, but make it big enough to handle drum input) 1
Vocal/Instrument Mics + stands + leads 6
Electric Guitars + guitar stands + strap 3
Acoustic (ElectroAcoustic) Guitars (at least 1 of which has nylon strings) + acoustic stands + strap 3
Bass Guitar + stand + strap 2
