Well, unless we're talking about a band with a horn section, I just don't see the need for a ten piece band(I'm talking about a band, not an orchestra).
Come on, if you've got drums, bass, keys, and 2 guitars, WHAT.MORE.DO.YOU.NEED? And that even leaves room for a percussionist, or some loser singer, that doesn't play an instrument.
Last night, I did sound for a six piece band....although the opening act was 9 pieces. Overfu*kingkill. Not enough room on stage, not enough snake channels, and way too much attitude. I wanted to kill their engineer, and the band.(personal rant off).
