We require everyone on our worship team to be on time, every time. A “no show, no call” and you’re done, unless somebody is in the hospital… In all seriousness, everybody has a lot going on – the only way to make sure that the services are top quality is to set the bar high. People will generally rise to the level of the expectation – if they feel that the leader thinks that it’s not really critical that they be there prepared and on time, they will act accordingly. So – if the practice is set to start at 6:30, make sure that the drumsticks click off the first song at 6:30 (unless you’re using fill tracks – then the drummer presses “play” at 6:30)… : )
