Making sure that everyone knows how to play their instrument, then holding band practice. And often. Using someone else's sheetmusic from a song you already know [an easy song to start with] and practicing it. Practice at home AND at band practice.

That's the most important step - getting everything all together. Once you sound good, record some of it with a cheap-ish recorder from wal-mart and upload it onto a CD, then put it on PureVolume and Myspace. Once you're on Myspace, set up a "whore code" and have your friends show you off to their friends - the more friends you have as a band, the more likely it is you'll be noticed.

Try to get into local shows. If you're not planning to be a hardcore band you can still get shows. They're fewer and further between.. but search the internet, ask around and you'll probably be able to find something somewhere. Post it on your Myspace and PureVolume profile that you want a gig; somebody will bite. Though you might not get paid at first.. it's still worth it.

Good luck
