APPEALING TO ALL MEMBERS

ok im here for a small talk. syf is nearing on. its on the 11th of may and time pasts fast. its like i was counting and it was 14 weeks to syf. now that i count again, its only 8 weeks more to syf. how fast. like i was wondering how am i going to get all the band members to come for band practice and start getting serious real SOON. be in the mood for syf and all. i dun even sense the urgency in band members and im like so damn worried.

firstly, i havent gotten a bronze in my band life before. 2 silvers and this time i have high expectations of myself and band. i want at least a silver. and i hope for a gold. with our potential we should be able to get at least a silver. thing is, people aint practising hard enough to achieve the gold standard. the band is always at least a silver band in my heart, a potential gold band if we start to get serious soon and a confirmed gold band if we had gotten serious long ago.

secondly, i take it upon myself that if band doesnt do well, and doesnt achieve its minimum standard. then i must have not been a good leader, definitely not capable enough to face the outside world, much less pursue my passion for music.

all selfish reasons. but i also do hope that WE could set a record or at least maintain the band standard. all these would reflect well upon our testimonials u noe? not mine especially jus cos im the band president. i dont believe in the need for leaders. unless we musically-abled people need someone to lead on the music. we all come in together at the conductor's first stroke of the baton isnt it? so why do we really need a leader.

i was also mentioning to someone else about this. that if i can't even get my good friend to go for band practice and not skip it for tests, all the more i would not be able to get the rest of the band to do it. appealing to all band members, please have this mindset. if you DON'T go for band practices to so called "study" for tests and stilll want the band to improve, then why don't you take the first step. like consider this. tests and exams don't prove your abilities AT ALL. it is your attitude and moral values that make your worth. why be someone who agreed to come for band camp, handed in the consent form, and in the end dont even turn up, dont reply to messages, dont even inform us that you're not coming. ultimately its your own shame, being unable to face me having to avoid me, unable to face your section mates and your fellow band members.

come on band, pull yourself together and start getting motivated. why have i been failing tests and exams and worrying for band for nothing. please do my failed tests some justice and show me results. =(
