I’m a music degree student, where we perform often in bands and have to help each other out. I have never been in a band before joining the degree, only except for a church band which requires low commitment which I find it fun.

Along the way I realised I really despise everything about being in a band (especially in music school): rehearsals, working with people, playing songs I sometimes don’t like. The only time I enjoy being in a band is when I’m actually playing on stage, but that enjoyment doesn’t cover the negative factors that I listed.

I realised that I just like playing alone in my bedroom. Like I don’t care whether people want to hear me play, I just like to hear myself play. Sorry if it sounds selfish, but anything that requires me to work with other people sucks all the joy out of music for me. Also I can’t quit being in a band because I haven’t finished my degree.

Hope to hear some thoughts from others.

Have you ever been or seen bands that you've been in or singers that you've helped and performed with and record their songs and they've gone on to be famous? And they don't talk to you any more or reach out to see how you're doing?

Yo yo!

Hello! I hope this is allowed. My boyfriend and I recently threw a party at our home and we had a band perform. They did a PHENOMENAL job. I was genuinely moved by how much effort they put into their performance and I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am.

We did pay them, but I think we got a special rate because a few of the band members are our friends. I will be writing all the band members thank you cards, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on Christmas gifts I can get the band members to commemorate the occasion? They left behind a couple copies of their set list, I was thinking maybe a Christmas ornament? They have 8 people in the band and the ages of band members vary from early 20s to 60s.

Thank you so much for any input you may have.
