Equipment Requirements
All instrumentalists must have their own equipment.  Although some equipment is provided, like the drum set, you are still required to have your own equipment at home to ensure you have what is needed to prepare yourself for rehearsal.

Process
1. Complete the attached application.
2. Audition with the team after a Sunday worship service.
3. Within 1 week of your audition, the worship leader will inform you of your selection or non-selection to the team and provide audition feedback.
4. If selected for the team, complete a 90-day probation period that reveals your commitment and compatibility.
5. After completing the 90-day probation period, the worship leader will inform you of your permanent selection to the team or discuss other ministry options.

Please note: The OBBC worship team utilizes an online website called Planning Center where team members are expected to frequently log in, RSVP for rehearsal/service, check schedules/plans of when you are participating, download and listen to music, look over chords charts, and prepare for rehearsals on their own. Planning Center also offers an app for both iOS and Android devices.
