Thread to discuss rehearsal food!
- Thread starter two fingers

One band I was in, the BL's wife used to make Lumpia!! I always looked forward to rehearsals. My R&B band, our last guitarist used to bring beer. My main band, when we do rehearse, he usually orders pizza and has water and Gatorade to drink.
I had to Google Lumpia. Looks tasty!!!

Most of the rehearsals I’m involved with don’t involve food or alcohol or weed. We’re there to get work done. Sometimes I’ll bring a healthy low-carb snack and/or water, but that’s about it. Seems like most rehearsals occur after dinner anyway.
With a liquor cabinet like that, your bandmates can bring food.
Obviously pizza is a classic. But my only problem with food at rehearsals is I like to get in and get out and food slows us down. Fortunately I don't have to rehearse much 
Come on over to my pad and you get water. Filtered, if I like you.
Going all the way back to Jr High school band, rehearsal is not a social occasion.
It is a time to work.
When we rehearse there is usually bottled water available for those who didn't bring their own but that's all.

I wish. Usually just some beers.

Wow, y'all are making me realize our rehearsals are sub-par. I've gotta up the food game!
Great thread. I love having food and beverages at rehearsals... I don't consider it "work"... it's playing, and playing is fun. If it were "work" I wouldn't be there. YMMV.
Damn! That scotch tray is making my mouth water! Can I please join your band? Do you need an ukulele player?

We never have food at our rehearsals. Guitar player always brings beer. Sometime one or more of the rest of us will also bring beer, and the drummer occasionally brings a bottle of Evan Williams (which I've come to regard as an excellent bourbon for the price).

I serve some top notch coffee before rehearsal, and sometimes snacks. I'll do food for the occasional double. I offer up drinks, but everyone usually prefers the coffee.
No food at rehearsal. Eat before or after, but not during.
Unless you consider beer to be food, in which case we usually have one or two IPAs per person over the three to four hours.

Chili, vegetable beef soup, lentils & sausage... something that I can make in the crockpot. We eat after rehearsal, but usually at least one person needs to leave right after. A friend lost to cancer used to always have food at is house when we rehearsed there (different band), and I do it to remember his hospitality.
Another band rehearses right after work at the drummer's house, and he usually has food for us so we can come straight from work.
