I was recently appointed youth praise team leader.We have sang a couple of times,but there seems to be a problem.Everytime we have sang we have not sounded good at all. In practice we are boomin with the right harmonies and the music is just right but when it comes to sunday morning....musicians dont remember the keys and melodies and the squad act like they cant sing anymore.I don't understand.
Please help!!!! They are talented group of kids but when it comes to sundays they get stuck.What can I do to help sound the same like they did at our rehersals.
thanks in advance

More than likely, they're nervous before service. They're kids, after all and it happens. Work on their self-esteem and confidence and see if THAT doesn't improve their overall sound.

PRAY!!! pray before practice,pray before sevice!!! the enemy does all he can to sidetrack us.few years ago was in a band with some heavy players.(one cat had been on the road with andre crouch at age 12) came time to minister,if we weren't prayed up and for,looked like we had never seen our axes till we got up to pray.so pray,and then pray some more!!!!be blessed. as far as esteem,paul said i have NO confidence in the flesh.GOD exalts the humble,and opposes the proud. too much dr phil self -esteem type stuff- our GLORY is CHRIST-in us

We're talking about kids, mind you. That sounds reeeeeal good, but how many kids do you know that understand the writings of Paul?
Lets not get too "churchified" that we forget that there is a development process that still has to take place.
Prayer is critical. Self-esteem is also important. .
I CAN do all things through CHRIST....
While there is the acknowledgement that it IS through Christ, there is still the need to take possession of that authority(exusia) and ability(dunamis)which Christ enables us to excercise through Him.
You feel good when you know you "can"-e.g. Self-esteem. Although the "can" comes from Christ.

Look at how far you have come, your choir and PT..... its a tremendous work..... jsut stay prayerful, and know that all things work together for the good..... You are gonna look back on this a praise God for what He had planned all along. Just be patient.....

Im becoming a broken record. This is why churches need to warm up and do exercises. You have to train your ear to a certain sound. Usually some churches only have one rehearsal before singing a song that can be a mistake especially if you have unskilled singers.

I know first hand that this is NOT the issue. We have 2 rehearsals before that particular Sunday.... and I can see if it were new songs everytime, but this is stuff that they know. They know the notes, they know the harmonies..... But I believe that the confidence is missing.
I am the drummer for this choir, and I can definitely say that there is a very large amount of discomfort.... They are KIDS surely, but I know tons of KIDS who are ministers, choir directors, MOMs and such....
I think it will come in time Tiffany, prayer, fasting and faith........ hang in there. I will see you and mom at rehearsal... I'll play the keys this time. LOL NOT!!!

Well Simon says kids cant sing. LOL
I could say the same thing about our church choir but I know its because they do not have enough training. If a school teacher can get a bunch of little kids in harmony and sing to presidents then churches can too.

Heeeeheeeeheeeeheeee... LOL.

....YALL IS FAMILY?!....
No..I'm kidding....
See....That's why I present stuff to our choir by the YEAR! LOL
...AND WE STILL DON'T GET TO LEARN ALL THE SONGS! I presented 13 songs, in January, last year, and we only learned 6, and I didn't go crazy and throw any Tye or James Hall (ok maybe one James Hall, but it was "Joy to the world" and that one is easy!), but one of our problems is that our singers are VERY MUCH beginners. They're getting better, but the MAIN problem is that they come like 30-40 minutes late to a rehearsal that's 1 hour and 30 minutes long. I tried sitting people down, and even putting them on the "inactive" roster, but they still do the same thing. But like I said before, we're getting better, so maybe we can sing "Joy to the world" next year.

WoW really?
I wouldn't be happy with people that came 40 min. late, even if they are getting better.

Then they are asked to remove themselves from the choir. You can't have that from teenagers, else they'll continue to do this as adults. Train up a child, bruh! ;)

THESE ARE GROWN FOLKS! SOME OF THEM ARE OLDER THAN ME, DUDE! LOL

Then you can REALLY have them removed because they are setting bad precedents. ;)

Somebody need to catch on fire and burn with the HOLLLLYYY GHHHHOOOOOOSSSSS!!! ;D

Dealing with the frustration isn't easy however when it comes to children have a little more patience. Encourage them on the wonderful job they did. Inspire confidence in them and train them to sing to the glory of God and not the applause of man. The precedent we can set by teaching them to sing for man will teach them how to possibly be the Next X-Rated singer.
This isn't sugar coating anything. Jesus told the disciples that they were the light of the world before they were confident enough to cast out devils. We have to call things that are not as though they were. Do that consistently for a few weeks and see the difference.

I'm on my church's praise team and what REALLY helps me remember songs that we practiced Tuesday night all the way to Sunday morning is I tape record it and during the week I play the STANK off that tape :D :D until I get it right.....and it's had a chance to work its way into my spirit.

That will work for resposible adults. We're talkin' about kids here, and if they haven't been taught discipline concerning such matters, then one has to wait until they 'get it'. :-\
