Sounds good. And don't be shy about doing it your way if it is your work that keeps it going. I would suggest laminating some flyers that say we only play tunes from Spain and we prefer no trombones and...etc. for songs it is even more important..we prefer that you listen politely whilst people sing (or the opposite)..that you only sing on the chorus..etc.

If you prefer no group songbooks, say so and put it in writing and pass out flyers because they will come up and take over the group...and also ipods, etc. And people don't just read lyrics from their ipods..they actually play the tune or song on ipod for everyone to listen to. It is certainly sharing, but you might want to either encourage that or nip it in the bud.

If you want to be somewhat exclusive, it might be good to get a friend or someone to set up a very inclusive, everything goes, play your trombone along with a ballad if you are inclined group..that hopefully meets at the same time nd close by so people can choose their preferred style...mg
