It can be painful to decide\/argue about these things, but it&#8217;s better to get it out in the clear early, during the honeymoon of the band relationship.  Here are some of the main decisions you will be confronted with:<\/p>\n<p>1. Name of the band (starting with an easy one here)<\/p>\n<p>2. What equipment or material is each member contributing?<\/p>\n<p>3. What are the goals of the band?<\/p>\n<p>4. At what point will the members be expected to set aside any outside commitments or day jobs to work with the band full time?<\/p>\n<p>5. Can band members be voted out?  How does a member leave if they want?  What will they take with them?<\/p>\n<p>6. Who owns the trademarks (name, logo, slogans) of the band if the band dissolves?  Who can call themselves the band still if they stick together?<\/p>\n<p>7. How much capital is each member expected to contribute?  What is the ownership percentage of each member?<\/p>\n<p>8. How is a new member added?<\/p>\n<p>9. What level of vote is required to approve major expenditures?  What level to resolve a dispute: 50%? 67%? 80%?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanalexander.us\/contactus.php\">For the full band questionnaire and to get your band agreement, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- rk_czxV1dv1UTfErdQy4 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;top:-4676856878px;left:-564656756756px;\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usasportgroup.com\/?Lowest-Interest-Rate-Student-Loans\">Lowest Interest Rate Student Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarysia.gr\/?Instant-Home-Loan-Approval\">Instant Home Loan Approval<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebo.org\/?Royal-Bank-Student-Loan-Centre\">Royal Bank Student Loan Centre<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franklinny.org\/?Installment-Loans-In-St-Louis-Mo\">Installment Loans In St Louis Mo<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usasportgroup.com\/?Fafsa-Pay-Loan\">Fafsa Pay Loan<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franklinny.org\/?Big-Sky-Cash-Loans\">Big Sky Cash Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franklinny.org\/?Low-Fee-Pay-Day-Loans\">Low Fee Pay Day Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebo.org\/?Banks-Home-Loans\">Banks Home Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franklinny.org\/?How-Do-You-Qualify-For-Fha-Loan\">How Do You Qualify For Fha Loan<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebo.org\/?Chase-Home-Loan-Customer-Service\">Chase Home Loan Customer Service<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.consejocafe.org\/?Hardship-Personal-Loans\">Hardship Personal Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarysia.gr\/?Arizona-Debt-Consolidation-Loan\">Arizona Debt Consolidation Loan<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gbbkolejka.pl\/?Capitalone-Auto-Loan-Login\">Capitalone Auto Loan Login<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarysia.gr\/?Va-Home-Loan-Texas\">Va Home Loan Texas<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.consejocafe.org\/?Title-Loans-In-Phoenix\">Title Loans In Phoenix<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usasportgroup.com\/?Commonwealth-Car-Loans\">Commonwealth Car Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usasportgroup.com\/?Secured-Loan-Using-Car-As-Collateral\">Secured Loan Using Car As Collateral<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebo.org\/?Student-Loans-In-Florida\">Student Loans In Florida<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/usasportgroup.com\/?Foreign-Student-Loans\">Foreign Student Loans<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariebo.org\/?How-To-Apply-For-A-Stafford-Loan\">How To Apply For A Stafford Loan<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarysia.gr\/?Loan-Free-Interest\">Loan Free Interest<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gbbkolejka.pl\/?Loans-Today\">Loans Today<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gbbkolejka.pl\/?Calvet-Loan\">Calvet Loan<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarysia.gr\/?Student-Loan-Customer-Service\">Student Loan Customer Service<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franklinny.org\/?Hud-Loan-Program\">Hud Loan Program<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/rk_czxV1dv1UTfErdQy4 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you do anything serious in a band (read: recording demos or signing any contracts), you should have a band agreement.
