We prefer to call it the "music team" or "praise band," but this is normal in Protestant churches.

it really isn't

My parents' church has a band and it's a Lutheran one.

I don't want to dismiss your methods of worship, because if it works for you that is good; its just that I cannot fathom having a band as the source of music in my church. Coming from the Benedictine Catholic background where I sang Gregorian chant in the choir, if a band came into my church I would hightail it elsewhere. To each his own of course, but I am going to stick with my organ based music in church.

I can deal with piano and in some cases trumpet as long as the music itself is decent, and there's something really warm and intimate about unaccompanied singing, but a band is where I draw the line too.

I really enjoy a number of modern Protestant megachurch bands, but I'd never want that in a mass.

The best Novus Ordo mass I've been to was an Easter Vigil where they had trumpets and a violin. It was beautifully done. I don't even mind a guitar that much if it's used tastefully, but some people have a violent, visceral reaction against them.

This reminds me of a recent trend where following the recent migrant invasion of Austria ever fewer Austrian women are seen gaily frolicking with a Styrian harmonica,

Stop imitating me.

Why would I listen to different music at church than I normally do anyway? I've never understood that.
