We have rehearsals at a studio and the only snack we usually have is beer, so... yeah...

Thread to discuss rehearsal food!
- Thread starter two fingers
- Start date
I played in a band where we rehearsed on Wedenesday night from 7 pm - 10 pm. We took a 20 minute break in the middle but no food or alcohol.
The last band I was in we rehearsed on Sunday from 1 pm until whenever. We would break after every hour of playing so the guys could drink shots and hit the pipe. I was the only one who didn't partake. We always had friends and family hanging out while we were playing and the drummer's wife (our rehearsals were held at their house) would cook enough supper for everyone - a big feast.
Guess which band played 4 to 6 gigs a month for decent pay and which band rarely gigged and made pocket change.

So tonight we mixed it up a little. We had a ton of (amazing) thin slices brisket leftovers. So we heated that up and served it with some Dave's Killer Bread 21 Grain, as well as some various spreads and cheeses to dress up a sandwich. Then Mrs.Fingers whipped up some spinach artichoke dip and served it with Naked chips whole grain.
Our singer runs a bakery out of her house. She brought some churro cupcakes and margarita cupcakes (both her own creation) that were ridiculously good.
We played a ton of music. But we threw down on some grub too!

Can I come over? I have a friend who lives in North Carolina I'll make sure to stop by your place!
I've got a small refrigerator in our rehearsal space (my house).
Singer - Brings a couple bottles of beer with him
Lead guitar - he brings a six pack every few rehearsals & leaves bottles in the fridge
Rhythm guitar - occasionally has a beer, but normally drinks water
Drummer - either leaves a bottle of bourbon behind his kit or helps himself to mine.
Me - I've recently stopped drinking at rehearsal unless we're working on new stuff, in which case I'll have some sort of mixed drink on hand.

When we have a rehearsal, it's usually after I eat. unless someone has stated they are picking up food.....usually its pizza, or taco bell, but sometimes it ends up being a bunch of liquid pork chops. but having some chips/dip or grilling burgers would be awesome.
Since my seniors uke group of about 35, for which I play bass, meets in a big room at the Vet Center twice a week at 3:30 pm and 10 am, we don't do food, but twice a year instead of having a rehearsal, we do a pot luck party at a member's house. If I did food for rehearsal, it would only be served after, but if food is out before or during, none would be finger food for the sake of the instruments.
