Hello band!
Recently, I've seen many complaints regarding the band practices. I just hope to make an address to the issue and behind everything we do, there's a reason. And to the people tagging, its okay to express your opinions, but we hope that you made yourself known to us so that we could ask for your suggestions to make the practices more interesting. Firstly, it is true that band hours are long, it's because the time to carve out a good band takes more than a year. If you all wanted shorter hours, then the fellow band members have to pull up their socks by doing a lot of self preparation at home before they come. I know we have been doing the same activities repeatedly. Therefore, the video shown on that day states that we do it one time, and do it right. But are all of you doing it right for the first time? If not, then there's a need for repetition for activities. I just hope that everyone will look at the long hours of practices at a different pespective, come with a goal you want to achieve for the day, so you wont find the practices boring, but meaningful to everyone. When you have a goal in mind, you will have the motivation to practice more and try harder. That's when you will find band practices to be intersting and useful. You are the only person who can decide if the practice is long and boring or intersting and useful. Do remember that the other band members are going through this too and that you're not alone. Do think about it.


Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.
