We’re getting the band back together … at SAP TechEd 2015 Barcelona
We know code jam, demo jam, inno jam … and some of us can’t wait to jam in the SAP Mentors band during SAP TechEd. Kudos to David Hull, Mark Finnern and all the assisting SAP Mentors starting this very special annual event 4 years ago! Kudos to our band sponsor SAP Business Innovation & IT!

We have two rehearsals at 5pm and at 10pm on Monday. At least one rehearsal is mandatory for everybody who want to play an instrument. The rehearsals and the band action are located at the Convention Center right in front of the keynotes area.
The live performance will be prior to the Demo Jam starting from 6:30pm on Tuesday.
We will stop in time, so everyone has enough time to wander over to the Demo Jam right after.
How to get an instrument?
We are providing instruments, microphones, amps, pedals, … you just need to show up and play. If you know the tune and want to join in singing or playing some percussion, come on up. If you like to dance, then dance dance dance!
What will we play?
This is the final set list of songs for the Barcelona event:
- Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
- Summer of 69 – Bryan Adams
- Wonderwall – Oasis
- Walking on Sunshine – Katrina & the Waves
- Learn to Fly – Foo Fighters

Rock On!
There will be at least a drummer in Barcelona... me!
That's two with me 🙂
We could already do a drum show 😎
We already have guitar, bass, accoustic and keyboard players as well. Sounds like a band 😉
Awesome!
Cool Video from the Sponsor!!!
The Band Jam was one of my favorite parts, even if I never could quite grab one of the band shirts, there is always next year. I'll practice my drumming and join in one year maybe!

Deal!
Hi BAND-Geeks! I write to you as you will have an “active role” in the Jam Band Gig!
Wow – let me tell you that we are very close to our fist “InnoBeats” Gig!
As Matthias is on its way to xyz (good luck with Lufthansa! 🙂 ), I’d take the liberty to go quickly through the plan for the Band:
Dates/Times and Flow
Flow:
Location for Rehearsals and Gig:
HALL 6, Keynote-overflow room, stage (you can’t miss it)
Layout and Instruments:
Musicians:
… // Please add your twitter handle where missing
For active Band Support I take the liberty to count on (at least) on the guys and gals below.
Your role would be to “heat up” the crowd, distribute InnoBeats t-shirts into audience, animate them to dance. We do need more!
Songs:
Don't Stop Believing - Journey
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Wonderwall - Oasis
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & the Waves
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
Little Numbers - Boy
Proud Mary - Tina Turner
I love Rock'n Roll - Joan Jett
Twist and Shout - The Beatles
Next Steps.
Thanks a lot to Matthias Wild who was setting this up with patience! Thanks to Carsten Linz team (Rahel especially!)!
And all people that helped so far!
See you soon!

Great post, Kati! Sounds great - and a real stage? Wow, sound's awesome! Let's hope we also get some monitors on stage... 😉
Let's keep our "Lufthansa-fingers" crossed, so everybody will arrive there...I might look into finding another flight today 😯

See you soon and then let's rock!

Hi Kati
This looks like its going to be a lot of fun!
We drummers (myself, Jürgen Butsmann and Tobias Hauk) have divided up the songs amongst ourselves, so we'll be swapping in and out between songs.
So now you know why my Twitter handle is @LogaRhythm 😎
See you all next week (and fortunately, I'm flying on British Airways, not Lufthansa)
