i think yesterday's rehersal at SCH was a wake-up call for us. a good one. perhaps it's because of our lack of time for practice, perhaps it was our concert. perhaps this year really isn't SAJC's year. whatever the reason may be, i feel that it's time to stop pondering over WHY we sound the way we sound, and actually DO something about it. 4 days is a short yet long amount of time. in 4 days, if we really put our heart to it, we can clear up all our individual inadequacies, solve rhythm problems and listen out for blending. in 4 days, the flame and the passion could be reignited. i think all of us are merely waiting for a miracle to happen. a miracle from Mr Glosz, or benji or meroy. but it's not going to happen. because i feel what we truly lack is the very basic element in achieving excellence- desire. a miracle WILL NOT happen during the course of the next 4 days, but we can CREATE A MIRACLE OURSELVES. i'm not sure about the rest of you, but i really really do want to do Rhapsody justice on 11th May, as well as show the audience the miracle that SAJC band, despite its shortcomings, have created. come on people, you have to CRAVE for excellence if you want to be excellent on 11th may. i can't say for sure that we will definitely do well, but i want to end my band life knowing that SAJC Band's spirit has not died afterall. Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is. at 1:34 PM 0 comments
