Nope, it isn’t rhetorical. DO YOU BOTHER? Do you bother how the Man up there feels like conducting a half-hearted band? Mr.Tan does not deserve this, the effort he puts in is unparalled, never have i seen a man ,so benevolently patient . Today marks the last practice before common test break , kudos to anyone that has been consistent. I understand that we have commitments ,in fact everyone has commitment, but don’t we already know band practice is on mon ,thurs and sats, can you not reschedule yourself to cater to all your commitments? Can you at least come for a practice a week. Of course if you know your part , i think it’s fine, not perfectly fine, but fine to have a sucky attendance , because you attend practice to get familiarised with your parts , so if you are familiar with your parts , we can close an eye. But to those that are clueless about what they are playing, please , be responsible, seek help , LEARN from your mistakes, do not pull down the person next to you,your friend, your section ,your band and Mr Tan. We cannot blame Mr. Tan for stopping every now and then , we only have ourselves to blame for playing ignorantly now and then .I’ve had it with half-hearted people, i dare say i know my parts , but i cannot tolerate people that just join in as and when they like and pull the entire band down , because 1. your tone cannot blend with the band. 2. your rhythms’ off, you disrupt the harmony, 3. you slow down the pace of the band. We ain’t got ‘forever’ to practice, reality check : CONCERT DAY – 9 Jan 2010. We’re not far from the actual day , and i do know of people who will not be able to meet the cut on the 9th of january. Please please, to those guilty of this, brace yourself up, rise to the occasion , i will stare at you like a criminal for being guilty of this. I will drill my eyes into your back if you sit infront of me and play rubbish , i mean like com’on we’ve practiced all this songs long ago .
One thing i hate is definitely using studies as an excuse not to do well in band. FUCK YOU! why would the goverment implement CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY, CO, (PART OF), CO-CURRICULAR, (PART OF)YOUR CURRICULUM , it isn’t even ECA , EXTRA CURRICULAR .It is part of your curriculum, for those close to me like the elites, they know i have a 3.6 for my GPA , im not boasting , i’m giving a life example to slap you , that , it is possible to juggle studies with band. It is all in your determination to want to do it or not. I believe i’m not the only one that is fed up with everything thats going on , Azri flared up today, and Thank God he did, well, we need some one to speak up.
I think it is not too late to polish all your flaws now, and one more thing please please please, sell ticket , push ticket sales like crazy , sell it under the bridge if you must, i believe this is sdar’s last stroll, or there will be no concert next year. GET YOUR MEMBERS TO COME FOR PRACTICE ,BE STRAIGHT FORWARD TO THEM IF THEY SUCK , IF THEY PLAY REALLY HORRIBLY GO LIKE THIS” ARE YOU TONE DEAF, WORK IT HONEY ,WORK THOSE LIPS” .
everyone has a part to play,
Mucho Gracias.
