In attempting to translate an advertising poster, I ran into some
difficulties. The poster reads:

第一部 ガールズバンドライブ

第二部 カウントダウンライブ

The katakana is easy enough: 'Girl Band Live / Countdown Live', but in
checking the kanji on jisho, I'm finding the meanings of 'ordinal' and 'club,
category, or magazine counter', none of which seems to mesh together. 'First
Club / Second Club' are my best guesses, but it doesn't quite seem to fit.
Does anyone have an accurate translation?

question
translation
What is the meaning of 第ー部
My best guess with the 部 counter for this would be part one, part two, etc.
According to jisho.org, 部 can also mean a "part; component; element" so in
this context it would make sense to be Part one: girl band live, Part two:
countdown live.

answer
It is used this way to mean like "session", "period", or (more limited)
"service". My church (and others) in Japan counted their Sunday worship
services this way: `一部礼拝 (1st Service)、二部礼拝 (2nd Service)、三部礼拝 (3rd Service)、
etc.`

BTW, did it really have ガーラズ for "garage"? It's usually written ガレージ.
