perpetual nightmare
i’m appalled by the way my section is organised. up till now, most people are still unsure of what their parts should be, and how the movement in between pieces should be carried out. for goodness sake, concert’s in 2 weeks’ time and still, most players are either still very blur; sight-reading pieces at the last minute, or they just can’t be bothered to find out what parts they are playing. and the worst thing is that they can’t play their parts properly. yes, they turn up for band, but so what? they don’t take down notes on important performance directions and they don’t bother to count properly.
i’m not talking about the veterens. the veterens already know what they’re supposed to do. nevertheless, mistakes are bound to happen, and they seem to happen in loads.
i can’t say i’m an extremely responsible player, but at least i note down the important performance directions and i abide to them whenever i play. although i don’t practise that much, i make it a point to play properly whenever i play. what for waste time at band practices? why must band practices be unproductive? and if you’re not happy with the management, what for stay on? don’t let anything else kill the passion for making good music. please.
