The fary how to save a life

Step one, you say we need to talk

He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you

Route 94 my love

My love and my touch,
Up above, made with the warmth of my
My love and my touch,
Up above, made with the warmth of my
My love and my touch,
Up above, made with the warmth of my
My love and my touch,
Up above, made with the warmth of my

Imagine Dragons 

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Health and safety

Health & Safety

health and safety 

What are the possible health and safety issues with the equipment you are using? Could be dropped on someone's foot like a amap or a guitar could hit someone in the face

what can you do to ensure you and others are safe during the rehearsal process?make sure that people know where people are and make sure no one is in the way 

in what way will being safe during the rehearsal allow you and your group to have a more enjoyable experience? it will make everyone feel safe and free to move in the practice room

Can you find any websites that talk about heath and safety in a music rehearsal environment? Events and particularly music events require much planning and thought beforehand. In most cases it is recommended that a team is put in place to take control of this planning process [1]. The risks must be considered and solutions put in place. Paying extra attention to laws and legislations can ensure you are providing a safe environment for both workers and audiences alike. This includes The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Here at Airsweb we are constantly striving to create software that makes assessing risks and finding health and safety solutions easier and more effective.

We understand that every event and business is unique and that advice must be sought from other sources including the local authorities and emergency services. Below are just a few areas to think about when planning a music event.

Contractors

Having many contractors on site, can provide an issue where health and safety is concerned. Asking contractors to provide their own health and safety policies, as well as detailing where the risks may lie during their work can prove beneficial. Permit management can also be a complex process if paper based, especially when dealing with multiple contractors from multiple organisations. Before the arrival of contractors or outside workers to a venue, ensure there are clear safety policies and requirements and that these are communicated to and understood by all involved.

Access and Exit

Consideration needs to be taken for how your audience will both access and exit a music venue. Temporary traffic signs may be needed or event marshals to guide traffic to the correct location. When traffic then reaches your venue, the parking must be well thought-out in order to include both the audience’s individual vehicles, coaches, as well as artist and staff’s vehicles. [2] When planning any event, the entire customer journey must be thought about. Once visitors leave their vehicles, their journey on foot is still important. Ideally pedestrians should be segregated from vehicles access areas. If this is unavoidable, safe crossings and routes should be put in place.

Noise

Sound and particularly volume is obviously a huge consideration at any music event.  High sound levels can present a risk to the audience. This is both because of the effect high volume may have on hearing and because of the high levels of vibration. It is a requirement of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Noise at Work Regulations 2005 [3] that employers and event organisers protect both their workers and audience from noise and vibrations. Sound and vibration levels should be monitored during rehearsal, along with sound check and performances to ensure full control is kept and adjustments can be made.

Crowd management

In order to plan for crowds in any event there must be clear knowledge of numbers, types of staff or stewards on hand, how they will organise themselves and who is in command. Dealing with crowds is not about controlling people but rather about understanding crowd psychology and dynamics in order to manage them accordingly. [4] A risk assessment including an emergency plan and a first aid plan must be put in place to be prepared for crowd surges, injuries and other major incidents including crowd clashes with neighbouring sports and social venues.
