"The Weekend Warriors program is a great idea! It gives people the opportunity to do something they love that they probably wouldnt do by themselves." - Claire Harrison

"I had a ball yesterday. Don't know about you guys, but the adrenalin surge was unfortunately still kicking in at around 2am!" - Kym

Is This For YOU?

Love playing your instrument but just haven't had time the past years because of family and work commitments? Then Weekend Warriors is for you. If you can play three chords and are as keen as mustard to get back into the groove and play with a band, this could be exactly what you are looking for. This is strictly for amateurs so no need to stress over your skill level. If you can keep in time and get on with people this is for you!

OK ..So What Next?

Crankin' Up The Jam

You and a bunch of other people will get together and make a load of noise to "get the feel" of being in a band and meeting the coaches and organisers of Weekend Warriors. Sure you might be a bit nervous but so will everyone else. If it is not for you there is absolutely no obligation to stay at the jam and it won't cost you a cent.

What Gear Will I Need?

How does NONE sound? You are welcome to bring your guitar or bass but that is all. No amps or keyboards will be needed as Engadine Music will provide them for you. Just bring yourself and a sense of adventure.

If I Decide To Stay?

When the commotion has died down the coaches will form bands of 3 to 6 members looking at varying skill levels, preferred styles and general sound of different combinations. Our skilled observers will form the bands so don't go getting any ideas of your own supergroup at the first jam session!

Those who are still keen after the jam will meet soon after to learn which band they have been placed into and to organise rehearsal times. In the rehearsal you will prepare a 30 minute set to be played at your first awe-inspiring gig!

Rehearsing For The Big Gig

It is extremely important that all participants give their best at the rehearsals. Being prepared before hand with some home reheasal will be a critical factor in your band's success. A confident rehearsal will make for a sensational performance.

And Now The Night Has Arrived

Grab as many of your relos, friends and anyone else you can think of and encourage them to witness a performance of great magnitude (being as humble as your ego will permit of course). Polish up the axe or your vocal chords and prepare to rock. All equipment including lights and PA will be supplied at a venue. The more people the better the gig. All profits from the cover charge will be donated to a local charity of our choice.

Still Interested?

There is a $300 fee to participate which covers coaching and our administration costs. The fee is payable after the jam, before the first rehearsal.
