1 THE PROJECT EXPERIENCE Introduction: The team I will be talking about is my band. Playing in a band is like working with a team at work. There are a lot of responsibilities, just like in the workplace, that we have to be a cohesive team and play as a tight unit. When a band is not on the same page and playing the same notes, it is noticeable and chaotic.” Cohesion is a measurement of relationship, togetherness, and belongingness experienced by the team members” (AIU, 2023). What is the organization you are working with (to remind your readers)? My team that I am going to discuss is one (1) of my favorite teams to work with… the band. There are two (2) different musical groups that I deal with, the music band and the music ministry. This discussion will be addressing the band (because we do a variety of music compared to the music ministry). What is the team cohesion need that should be addressed, and what is the intervention for that need? When it comes to music, everyone must be on the same page in order for the music to sound good. The band must pay attention to the band leader and the musicians must also pay attention to the singer. A band must have a leader or there could be chaos. There was a time we had a drummer that would just play too loud. We would try things like turn up the mics and the other instruments, but that would end up drowning out our singers or make them “scream” instead of

We finally came up with a solution and that was getting a drum shield for the drummer, not only did it help us, but the drummer could now hear how loud they were and finally got control of the loudness. What is the team productivity need that should be addressed, and what is the intervention for that need? One of our goals were to learn music that was not just from the “old school”, but to also learn songs that we could play for a younger generation as well. We did a great job for backyard cookouts and parties for people who were forty (40) and over, but we were a little outdated when it came to proms and parties for those under thirty-five (35) and under. To help us to become a little more “hip” in our music we enlisted the help of our children. We got a list of some of the popular music from them and listened to the artists that the younger generation was listening to. Not only did it help, but it also allowed us to update our music and put a spin on some of the music we were already doing. Who will need to participate (at any level) in the training and development initiative? The entire band participates in the training and development initiative when it comes to new music or new members. We come across a lot of singers that would like for us to play behind them and we enjoy it. Whenever we meet a singer that would like for us to accompany with music, we always let them know what we can do, what we are willing to do and what is a deal breaker (acting like you are too good to rehearse is definitely one).

1 THE PROJECT EXPERIENCE When will the initiative take place? The initiative always takes place immediately. We ask for what music that the singer would like for us to accompany them with and then we get to work. I love the fact that each member takes the initiative to go over the music on their own at home, that is such a plus. It shows that each musician is dedicated to their craft and what we are doing. What is the basic schedule for rolling out your initiative? We try to learn a new song every week while keeping the music that we already know fresh and exciting. The new music, we try out on the kids and invite them to our practices to gauge just how much work we have to do and how close we get to the sound. We love when we get venues like graduation parties and proms, then we are able to showcase all the latest songs that we have learned. Conclusion: Team projects can be frustrating and difficult when everyone is not on the same page. Whether in a corporate setting or a musical setting, the same rules apply to project planning and team work. The concept is to come together with a goal in mind to complete the project. There is always going to be a need for a team leader to keep order and remind the team of the goals and the deadlines.
