Have you ever had a band practice in your living room?

You are kidding I didn't think that anyone could possibly relate to this. Now I know how to combat it as well. THANK YOU!!! LOL

I am wishing you good luck on the matter, I will go crazy with a band practicing in here, too small of a home for that.

Oh believe me if we had a garage that's where they would be. But we don't have one. I am however thinking of doing over a room that is for storage right now so they can set up down there and not have to tear down every practice. I have to paint, paper and put in a light fixture though. So far I have the light fixture!! That's as far as I have gotten. LOL I think I will paint this winter. There is even a door to the outside for them to come in through. HMMM this is sounding better and better by the minute.

Thanks. I hope we can get that room done for them soon. Hopefully I won't be deaf by then. LOL

Ok well I support my husband and his band interest but I would NOT be impressed with him practicing at 9am!! LOL Mind you they were here past 9pm last night. So it can get a little bit on the nerves when the guys don't know well enough to go home!!! LOL

They are all very careful. They dont get hurt anymore than they do when they are wrestling with their competitors at school. I think that since they are all friends they are easier on each other. It is mostly then trying to perfect their techniques. It is nice that they are here most of the time so I can keep an eye on them.

Yes it's good you get to know exactly where he is and what he is doing. Even if it probably can get a little loud sometimes. LOL

Wow that is cool. But I would be afraid that someone would get hurt.

that's great. you knew where they were & didn't have to worry about them. you may not be a worry wart but i always been especially when it came to my sons. they are both grown w/families of their own but i still worry about them. lol

It's funny because our son was not the one to do this at all. He had his own bass guitar when he lived at home as well but he just liked to play alone. It is my husband, his Dad, who plays HIS bass guitar in a band in the living room. Talk about role reversal.

oh i see, well if you cant beat them, join them, so just enjoy the sound so that it wont be noise anymore, turning the volume down will only ruin the practice, so rock on dudes ;)

This is unfortunately the only real room in the house for it. At least the neighbours don't mind because we live in a brick house that we own and it keeps the noise inside quite well.

That is great!! I am glad that our daughter will think back on this with fond memories and that listening to her Dad and his band mates will bring back really good memories to her.
