When you go to a storefront church to minister with your music group, and someone gets up and preaches for over 3 hours, so you gotta contemplate if you're gonna leave and possibly look rude, or continue to spend the last part of your weekend in this church
That's an easy choice...  Engage baptist cloaking device... OUT!

Or you could just make your cell phone ring and rush out to answer " the call"......


Which brings us to...........

You KNOW when your at a wedding and cell phones continue to ring.......AND one person has the gumption to answer it.....while vows are being exchanged

"Naw, man I'm at a wedding......a wedding.....yeah.......in a church"

This happened Saturday  ::)

When there's toilet tissue electric taped to the bass drum.

When there's 5 chairs, 5 drummers next to the drums waiting in line for the next song.

When the organist tries to start every song in C sharp.

When one person is shouting and another runs next to them hand on shoulder and starts shouting as well.

When at least one musician has grown dreads since Tye Tribbet became popular.

When someone's playing a tambourine that's missing everything except the wood and skin.

When you have to put a piece of paper between the organ key to make it work.

When your youth choir's first dress code was black and white.

When there was always one girl who seemed to lead every song.

When the organist throws up hand signal 5 during a shout which always leads into hand signal 2.

When a 6 minutes of a 7 minute shout is all breaks.When people say "Thank Yah for taking me over the highways and byways" during testimony service.

When you've heard the phrase "pray for me as I pray for you in these last and evil days".

What is a break?

What is a break?

The little catchy phrases that musicians add, as opposed to the main drive of the shout.

I'm the opposite. I get bored with breaks. *shrugs*

Plus, at my church if you go too long with breaks, you will get some mean looks. They love the main shout.

Yeah people love the breaks, especially if they can sing along. And if you come out with a new one, and the band is tight, people are gonna go crazy. lol

I love the breaks too.  Plus I would think that the bass player and drummer would get tired playing a straight shout for 10 mins with no breaks.

When guest musicians break down a whole set during the remarks of the program. I HATE that btw. It is kinda funny hearing the speaker raise their voice to try to drown out the noise tho lol.

I agree with that. I just have a problem with extended breaks. To me, once you go into a break, you start to lose the whole purpose of a shout break, to praise God. You can't truly do that if you so into the music. BTJM!
