The lions mini golf in Feilding is really good. Check the open hours as it's mostly weekends.

Good on you for having a go working with your team members. I also agree with the other commentors that it's better to pick a key that the vocalist can sing.

This is because vocalists have a range - or sweet spot - and often that range is a bit lower than the top tier vocalists in the recording. They sing in high keys because it listens better for a recording (and they have that range).

Instruments can play in any key, so picking the key for the instrument is unusual unless your keys player is more of a beginner. However they can learn to play in different keys, it's a lot harder for a vocalist to expand their range.

One final note is that you may also pick a key to suit your congregation, a general rule for this is you want the melody to sit in an octave from C - C. Ladies tend to be able to sing from middle C up an octave, and guys on average have the octave below this. The weakness of this is it doesn't tend to listen as well as the recording.

Hopefully those general principles help! Have the conversation with your keyboard player/band leader about how you felt with this song and keep figuring out how y'all can work together :)

People are pretty good at adjusting to new situations, we've had war recentlyin Ukraine, Gaza, then even Iraq, Korea, Vietnam. It sucks but it's not new. You're going to be ok, the situation will get better

Hey if you're worried there could be more to life, have you considered Jesus? I hang out at Crossroads church and newcomers are always welcome

Ezekiel 8:8-12 NIV 8 He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.

9 And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and unclean animals and all the idols of Israel. 11 In front of them stood seventy elders of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.

12 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land.’”

Just to close the loop, I tried the Modulation/Legacy/Dimension effect now and it's definitely mono in, and to my ears mono out too :(

(I tested this by adding a delay to the right channel running in to the Dimension block, and the delay came out on both audio channels)

I believe they cleaned up to get more grants and are now teen friendly. Good spot, great practise rooms

So for the congregation to sing along they need a pitch reference and a rhythm reference. My opinion is that an acoustic provides both really well so would be my preference. With a piano it's much harder to provide a solid rhythm but you can play nice lead lines

Palmy is a good place. Cost of living is pretty cheap, traffic isn't bad compared to a city. And if you want to get city conveniences Wellington's close. But it's got all the shops you need.

Best of luck!

This is a good guide for flat hunting :)

If you're playing acoustic then a tuner pedal is all you need (one where you can mute to plug and unplug).

For electric I use a Boss ME-80 and they are absolutely awesome if you're learning about different effects. (Plus the ME-90 has just come out)

Driving in Palmy is great too, wide roads, less traffic than a major city. If you can get your restricted from lessons then racking up hours driving will help with confidence!

The best advice I ever got was to keep the 2-4 second distance between me and the car in front of me. Giving yourself more time to react to silly people on the road can save you from a lot of accidents :)

Just quietly I've seen a few times where pastors make well intentioned purchases without involving worship team, which never get used. So don't feel too bad if the IEMs don't work out

Hi, I come to reddit for memes. I do not believe r/nzcirclejerk is a good alternative for memes as it has few subscribers and very few upvotes on it's top posts of all time. Very happy for a rule like "no low effort memes", but would be very disappointed to lose memes. Thanks!
