Hey Clarinets (:
Today marks the 4th intensive practice we had since the holidays started. We know that as a section, we are not up to standard yet & I really hope everyone will work hard & strive for the best of the section & the band. In terms of balance, intonation & neatness, we arent there yet.
Holidays is the time when we can spend our time on our instruments, especially when we have no exams to worry about. and we have such a long holiday (2months!). I hope everyone won't regret wasting your holidays when 2011 starts. I hope everyone will improve a lot in terms of tonality, musical expression & I hope that our section will be a lot more bonded.
I can assure you, that the journey for SYF is tough, very tough & we NEED to stay strong TOGETHER, as a section. No one is supposed to chicken out & announce themselves as weaklings. We need to believe that we can do it & work towards our ultimate goal. For myself, my goal for clarinet section is: Being able to play together & produce good music & have fun together.
I can promise you guys, that after all these intensive practices & sectional practices, we will grow & mature, and we'll grow tgt as a section. No matter what happen, we are a section. We must really give in with each other & move as a section. We can be good individually, BUT we can lack teamwork at the same time & our section will NOT sound good.
I really hope everyone will move at the same pace & people who are lagging behind will buck up & continue to work towards the goal. Always keep in mind about our goal for SYF. Really, we have spent so much time on our choice piece, we can't screw it up. Cause, if any of us give up now, we will really waste our past year for nothing. We must stay Strong & Positive.
So Clarinets, WE MUST HAVE THE NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE.
YPSSSSS (:
