OK, I'll throw in a few cents. I don't have any direct experience with "praise bands" but suspect I'd = rather not have any. From the original posting: "this 'entertainment music' puts the emphasis = on the performers and what they can do to move the motions of the = listeners." While I would concur the emphasis in a service should never be = on the performers, and we shouldn't look to a worship service for = entertainment (except in the sense of contemplation--i.e., to entertain an = idea =3D to contemplate an idea), I would argue that the whole point of = music is to emotional.
