FMP-About my individual rehearsal and rehearsal with my band

When I have been rehearsing at home using my keyboard, I had been playing the Chords and Singing along using Electric Piano, then Acoustic Bass for the Songs Wavin Flag by K'naan and American boy by Estelle. Why I had used these other instruments while playing the keyboard was because the Discussion which I had with Reece,he had told me to play the chords on the keyboard using a bass sound in it, because Charlie who is our course manager said on Moday that we need a bass sound and electric piano sound for these songs, when he heard our run through performance for the Gig. It was not sounding too good with the Grand piano because it was too loud and noisy. Castle of Glass was also sounding good, But Kessanna who was the Singer didn't turn up at all who was supposed to sing Castle of Glass, So we had to decline it.

 The rest of the two songs which we are performing for the gig,I had been rehearsing very hard individually but the band members didn't rehearse with me so much as they're in so many other bands. I didn't want to think of declining stuff, from the beginning of this project, I was just thinking of an opinion of how to do a performance based work,So I set myself a target which was selecting the songs and band members of my choice and rehearsing together, and then when it comes to the run through I should have the songs ready for the run through,and also to keep the options open as to how it is sounding, Luckily All the songs aren't declined. Only one song has been declined which is Castle of Glass. The other two songs should be rehearsed more with the band.
