Hi band,
I don't know how you feel now. Maybe some people feel unmotivated, some feel down, some feel heck care. But all I want to say is, we are almost there, don't give up.
Just push yourselves a little more, just that amount of effort to get your intonation with others right, to get your rhythms accurate, to play in style.
If you are able to do it sometimes, I don't see why you can't do it everytime.
5 days to sound check.
24 days to SYF, which is about 3 weeks. About 9 band practices left.
Remember that Gold is our target right? I know that the process matters more, but in the end, we know that the coughschoolcough only cares about the outcome, so give it your all. Better award = higher possibility of funding, you want that right.
I have seen effort from most of you. I have seen improvement too. So just put in that extra bit of effort and push yourself beyond what you think you can do, all right? (:
I don't know if this works, but now sit back in your chair and imagine,
'Band number 122, Peirce Secondary School...........(long suspense)............gold'
'Band number 122, Peirce Secondary School...........(long suspense)............silver'
'Band number 122, Peirce Secondary School...........(long suspense)............bronze'
'Band number 122, Peirce Secondary School...........(long suspense)............COP' *touch wood*
Which one you want? Of course the first one right! Just thinking about getting a gold makes my heart beat faster LOL. Work towards it!
