How to use this list
Pack your items the night before rehearsal. Double-check cables, tuners, and power supplies, especially if you use multiple instruments or pedals. Coordinate with bandmates to avoid doubling up on shared equipment like amplifiers. Keep the checklist handy in your gig bag.
Common mistakes
Leaving behind required cables or forgetting a power supply can derail rehearsal. Don’t rely on the venue for spare strings, sticks, or ear protection. Failing to bring water can leave you dehydrated. Always confirm rehearsal-room access details ahead of time to avoid last-minute scrambles.
