Bluegrass band needed in Nashville, Tennessee For Sale

Type: Music instruments, For Sale - Private.

Bluegrass band needed for Drama Ministries production of Cotton Patch Gospel with music by Harry Chapin at West End United Methodist Church. No pay, but opportunity to get experience with a supportive community doing music of excellent quality by a well-known writer. This was Chapin's last work; he wrote the music and lyrics, Clarence Jordan wrote the Southern version of the Gospel, which takes place in Georgia.
Rehearsals begin mid-January xxxx with production near the end of February. Rehearsal schedule flexible, with more intensity during production week.
Score calls for fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass, but there is much flexibility there. It also calls for 4-part, close harmony in bluegrass gospel style mostly, but other singers might augment the band if needed.
There are videos on YouTube of various songs. Here's the opening number: http://youtu.be/CGA92v6BVe8
