Hmm... That's pretty much what I'm thinkin.
I'm leading the band at Maranatha SDA in Tallahassee. The church is a collegiate church (with FAMU, FSU and TCC being in town) and I'd say at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the church is made up of collegiates. Two weeks of the month, either I play or the band plays, one of those weeks being when the collegiate choir sings. The other two weeks are led by the main musicians (a husband/wife team who are baptist). Those two weeks tend to have the old-time, southern feel of worship service.
A few weeks back we played "Faith" by Kirk Franklin during offertory (all instrumental). The two saxes took the melody and a did a little soloing on the organ at the end (mind you I didn't really open up too much like I did in rehearsal the night before). After it was all over, I had all the collegiates telling me it was awesome and they were blessed by the song. On the other end of the spectrum, some felt the song was inappropriate. One specific person told me she didn't appreciate feeling like she was in a jazz club.
Our de facto motto is: If one is blessed, then we have done our job [as a band]. What would you guys do with that situation?
