Disrespect, self superiority, egoism...all results of INDIVIDUALITY.
they're coming for band not as sections, but as individuals.
Furthermore, they're supposed to come as a band, not as sections.
So, they're kinda at the bottom right now.
Not the right place to be two months before the competition.
Where is the UNITY that kept the last batch together? kept them strong, kept them going all the way. the UNITY that conditioned their minds, that strengthened their spirit, that solidified their will, that boosted their confidence, that focused their concentration, that worked, strained, pulled every muscle in their body to the max. all the time. 9 to 5. alternate days. 3 days a week. four weeks a month, 12 months a year.
And the competition came. That same UNITY stood strong. we stood strong. against all odds, we made a name for ourselves as one Titans Military Band. we rose up, others feared and respected us, but we made our glory short termed. yes. SHORT TERM GLORY, LONG TERM DEDICATION. dedicated to our music and marching. dedicated to get things DONE, not halfway.
And it is this name we made that is threatened by what the band attitude is today. dun say juniors. some seniors. after their first outdoor. what happened? became proud, became so damn fucking overconfident. can slack. can relax. no need to work hard, no need to motivate others, no need to always find ways to improve themselves. no need at all. sure get gold.
"we got it before, we will get it again". they think this way.
no. you CAN get it again. but you will not if you continue being this way.
The gold is up there. you aren't tall enough. what do you do?
YOU REACH.
how do you reach? when you reach up high, you feel the strain in you arm, your neck as your eyes behold it all the way, you back as you arch upwards, your toes as you tiptoe, your fingers. eager to at least touch it.
strain in your arm : you TRAIN. you WORK. you PRACTICE.
strain in your neck, eyes fixed on goal : you KNOW what you WANT, you WANT it.
strain in you back : your steadfast stand, your solid determination, your perserverance.
strain in your toes : you stand ready for any challenge, to overcome them with passionate drive.
you fingers : music is at your very fingertips. Embrace it, enjoy it, love it, use it, exploit it.
What you were.......is in the past.
What you become.......is up to you.
