Hey people, just to let you all know that this blog will be updated daily. So, please make it a point to visit this blog at least once per day. Make sure you know what's happening and all sorts. Also, whenever there is an annoucement, I will place it here too.
Alright, a general comment on today's practice - discouraging, and DISGUSTING. I seriously do not know how many of you really want to achieve a silver. And base on our punctuality, I think it is really a turn off. Like what Kumar said yeah, Syf is like two weeks away. Is it that difficult to shove everything aside and focus for these two weeks? Shift tuitions to a Sunday slot, and make it for every band practice. I know that midyear examinations are important, neither am I denying you all of the rights, and need to study. But I just want you all to think. Within this two week, if we really divert our heart and soul into the band, I think a silver is not that out of reach. I hope you all think about this for a while. ):
Also, there are two things I think we need to work on.
1) Sense of urgency:
C'mon people. Can't things be done quickly? And please be more responsive to whatever instructions that have been passed down to us. Seriously, two weeks ain't much, lets cherish it alright? Please. I'm sure that none of us would rather get bloody bronze right? Why live to regret, why take risks? Why forget stuffs that has been drilled into us since like forever. Why would you want to make yourself come out of Singapore Conference Hall and cry tears of regret?! Please, wake up from your NAIVE dream. Lets make the freaking silver medal possible for yourself, the band, the conductors and the teachers. I hope you all understand what all these fuss is about. Get this message into your head k? I'm not blabbering bullshit right now. Just think of the future "opportunities" after attaining a silver medal alright?
2) Inject more feelings into your music:
As much you don't want to see noobshit actors up in movies, no one wants to hear your boringshitass, no emotions music. Don't think that every thing is graded on your playing skill, appearances counts k. The moment you step into the hall till the moment you leave the hall, you are under scrutiny. Like a magnifying glass, people will observe you very very intently. Every expression, and interpretation of the music is important. Let the music flow through your body, really feel the adreline rushing within you. I can't force such things upon you, it's all up to you. Just don't let the judges minus points for ridiculous things such as these. Think about it, is it worth it to lose marks just like that?
I hope this message really gets across to you all. We're all teens, we aren't dumb, we can do it if we want to. Don't let anything stop you in getting what your potential allows. If you think that you need someone to shout in your face, tell me. I will do it, I will wake you up. Take care, and do your homework guys ((:
