A Seriously Messed Up Situation With My Friends. Some Advice please......

[Musicman408]

So, I am sure you all remember those two "friends" I talked about a couple of weeks ago. They are, as some of you might know, the guitarist and drummer in my band.

So today I am at lunch, sitting in my usual group, with one of the guys and a bunch of my aquantances. And guess what I found out? He and the other friend went to one of the aquantances houses, and stole a $100 bottle of wine out of the basement..... And DRANK IT!!!!! I mean honestly, WTF?

I honestly don't know if I can stand those two anymore, and it puts me in a hard place because they are in my band. But today, I thought of something, and you all tell me what you think.

Also, they have become very critical toward the new singer. She is fine, and if it weren;t for me, we wouldn't have a singer. I am the head hancho of the band, and if I don't do or say something, it never get done. If I don't schedule a rehearsal, nobody else does. So it's like, I am doing all of this work to get things amazing, they're sitting on their butts doing nothing, and complaining about all sorts of crap and being rude. So this is driving me crazy as well. Our songs are amazing, and they have commented to that, but their attitude and rudeness are horrible.

I am thinking about completely re-vamping the lineup of my band with a group of people who actually share my values, morals and principles. And yes, i want to have people that are good players, but I want GOOD people to be around. I have someone in mind for the guitar, don't know about the drums, and I am thinking about adding to my one girl singer. You all remember that girl who I said I kind of sort of liked, the one who my drummer was sort of after (God knows if he still is) and the one who I sometimes talk to online? Well, it's her.

Here's the kind of hairy part. Our school, at the beginning of October, has this talent music night kind of thing. It's an amazing thing. Last year, since we were the highest scoring act in tryouts, opened the show playing "Don't Stop". Tryouts are in about 2.5 weeks, and I can't re-vamp my band and teach them Carrie (the song we're doing) in that ammount of time, so I am sticking with the icky people for another month or so.

I was wondering if you all had any suggestions on how to, when the time comes, let the guys know that their gig is up...... ALSO what do you think the best way would be to ask the girl. We aren't super friends or anything, but that;s because we don;t know each other extrememly well, but she is very nice, sweet and smart, and she is a pretty good singer, so I know she would do a good job. Should I tell her via internet, or try to track her down in person?

Anyway, all suggestions would be much loved. I am sorry about starting another discussion about this, but you guys, this is so freaking hella crazy, and I was just wanting to seek the advice from some wise folk such as you all.

Much Love,
Ethan
