Default Starting a Band

Hello everyone. I am a beginner guitarist, and I'm trying to become good enough to start a band with my 2 best friends, one of which is going to play bass and the other will be on drums.

We're all in different high schools right now, so I think we're all going to spend our time honing our individual skills up till graduation and then all go to the same college. There we'll spend time learning to synchronize our instruments and voices and hopefully come up with at least a few good original songs.

If anyone who reads this is an experienced band member, tips would be apprciated (things to watch out for, best way to advertise yourselves, etc.)

The following are our main positions in the band, although we will probably change things around occasionally:

Me: Lead Guitarist, Primary Song Writer, Primary Lead Singer
Friend A: Drummer, Co-song Writer, Backing Vocals, Co-lead Singer
Friend B: Bassist, Co-song Writer, Backing Vocals
