Q. What's in a band?
A. It's members.
Q. Can anyone be a member?
A. Pretty much, yes. Well actually no, not really. Yes and no. If they come with the right attitude and make the existing members of the band feel good, then yes, otherwise no.
Q. How do the band members decide if the new person makes them feel good?
A. Because the band members know each other, their likes and dislikes, and because there's intimacy and trust between them. Maybe that's what makes a band?

For one week the band Squares & Triangles will be in residence at Corner College. During this time they will make an album.
