Before you get too deep into the process, it's important to do a little soul searching. What is the vision you have for your band? What kind of music do you see your band playing - the genre? What is the image and style of the band? Who do you imagine would be your audience - a young crowd, middle-aged or maybe older fans? What is your ultimate goal for the band, and what would you consider successful?

Tapping into your vision and thinking about the goals you have for the band is a bit like creating a business plan when you launch a company. It will act as your blueprint and help to guide you.

Get the Word Out That You're Looking for Members

Now it's time to get the word out that you're looking for members. This can be done through advertising in the paper and online - you want to be sure it's seen by as many people as possible. The ad should discuss what style of band you will be forming (the type of music), if there is a specific skill you need (a drummer, a guitarist, a vocalist and so forth), and how much experience they have. Also, be sure to highlight the commitment you expect from members.
