HELLO SQUADMATES. (:
Once again I'm here to revive this blog (: POST MORE PLEASE!
Anyway, on to more serious matters. I know (again) that I have no right to order y'all to do stuff, or whatever, so now I'm begging ALL OF YOU to please please please say your timing loudly for drills. I know y'all (probably) don't like to have drills, but think of the squad commanders! They're screaming their lungs out to command us, to make sure we do our drills right. Won't we be disappointing them if we don't say our timing loud enough/not to our drills right? How would you feel if your juniors just mumble their timing, don't lift their feet up 90 degrees, mess up the most basic things? Please please PLEASE put more effort into doing your drills, because aren't drills supposed to train your discipline? Discipline is very important to go far in this society, & if we can't handle a small thing like drills (yes, it's small, compared to the other things in life. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT IMPORTANT!), how do you expect to do well in life? Personally I'm disappointed in some people, whom I know can talk louder than they say timing. Drills are important in training our discipline, & they ARE part of our CCA. You know there's SYF next year right? Apparently we have to take a video of ourselves (meaning the Band) doing drills for SYF. So you know, drills are VERY important. Plus there's PoP this year. I don't think y'all want to embarrass yourselves (like I did for Swearing-in :X) on that day in front of your seniors & JUNIORS.
Speaking of juniors, don't you think it's right for us to set a good example for our juniors? If we don't take drills seriously by saying our timing louder 7 doing them properly, how do expect our juniors to do them well?
What about Kialin & Jayme? They put a lot of effort into teaching us drills, but we're just throwing everything back to them. Doesn't seem right, does it?
So I'm really begging all of you to do drills properly. What's the use of playing well if we don't have enough discipline?
At the same time, I would like y'all to acknowledge who are the people who are good examples in terms of drills.
Sections like ET, Saxes, Percs, Double Reeds, Trumpets, Trombones (minus pathetic me, they're all louder than me).
Of course there are some individuals like Jiaii. I'm only saying those who were near me because I'm not sure about the rest, but if you really were saying your timing loudly, then you should be proud. & if you weren't, I think we should all reflect on ourselves. It's a squad thing, if some people merely mumble timing, it doesn't make sense to do drills at all.
Don't be selfish, just say timing, lift your legs up 90 degrees. You need not scream your timing, just say it normally. It's not like it'll kill you.
No offence to anyone okay?
