well it depends!. sometimes they break off into sectionals to rehearse with their section!. most rehearsals begin with warming up, such as going through scales (a common one is B flat) or running through pieces of music which may be giving them trouble!. when the entire ensemble rehearse, they run through music which they may be playing in an up coming performance!. if it's something like a marching band, they will work on charts (or sets/designs the band makes on the field)!. it's all about practicing and working to perfect your performance!.

I'm not sure if you're talking about an orchestra or a 3-7 person rock-type band!. I don't know much about orchestral rehearsal!.

If it's the rock-type band, they'd decide on the list of songs they'll be playing at the show, practice those songs, set up visual cues ("when I give this signal, do this," etc), set up and tune the instruments, check that all the electronic audio and lighting equipment works correctly, and check microphone, speaker, and monitor levels!. That's about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Set up mics, guitars and whatever else you're playing, and go over sound (is the volume too high,is the mic is squeaky)!. Sing a couple songs that you're going to perform to make sure it sounds right!. That's about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
