We only have 25 different songs we play each year in our student ministry. That usually freaks people out a bit – but it is strategic to help both our students learn the songs and also for our student band to develop skills enough to play them well each week. They are know as the “Cluster of Students 25” and are the songs for Wildside and High School Ministry of Saddleback Church.
Once people get over the shock that we only play 25 songs, they ask, well, what are they? Here you go – enjoy the list! We do auditions in May, and the list comes out in early summer every year, with new songs being introduced at summer camp each year then into the mainstream of youth group through the fall. Enjoy:

What a great idea! I love the consistency! What songs did you use in 2017? Id love to know your current list.
Found some great stuff here: https://www.praisecharts.com/songs/details/77098/phenomena-da-da-live-sheet-music/chords
Keeping a set list of 25 songs not only fosters familiarity but also allows your student band to hone their skills. It is a unique approach that seems to blend structure and creativity seamlessly.
