Practice Makes Perfect (or Better)

Some musicians will cringe at the thought of going over the same songs week after week during rehearsal. Some bands are terrified of straying from their routine, living in fear of hitting a wrong note on stage or seeming amateurish to people who haven't heard them before. Intuitively, it may not seem possible to "screw up" a rehearsal but if your band is described by either of these extremes, that is exactly what you're doing. Yes, you need discipline because you don't want to be too sloppy on stage if a last minute gig comes up but you also need to be making forward progress and trying new things.  Each rehearsal should consist of at least a warm-up of some kind, a run through your set (exactly as you would play it on stage, leg kicks, banter and all) and some amount of time devoted to developing new material.
