Band evening at Treibhaus Lucerne
Subjects such as electric guitar, drums and pop vocals are in great demand at the Lucerne Music School. This is reflected in a band night that has developed into a meeting place for up-and-coming rock and pop musicians.
The aim of the pupils is usually to play in a band, give concerts and even write their own songs, writes the city of Lucerne. In order to give them the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of an audience under professional conditions, the first Dr. Git was created around twelve years ago by drum and electric guitar teachers.
The name does not refer to a doctor of guitar, but rather is made up of the abbreviations for drums and guitar. This year, ten bands with over 50 participants will perform in changing line-ups. The Dr. Git bands will be followed by two other formations that regularly rehearse and play together.
A professional attitude is required from the children and young people, as the composition of the bands changes after each piece. With over 50 participants, this is a logistically and organizationally demanding task. In preparation for the concert, the music students and their teachers work on the pieces, which are practiced together in two rehearsals.
