I have a huge problem with this, sometimes I spend all night contemplating about it.
It took us a week before to grab a hold of everyone and get their work ethic up. If we were to start earlier with our work ethic..Especially at the Summer Camps, our show would be so awesome, but no one cares. When we found out we got 2nd at Westlake is when the entire attitude changed. The entire time we were silent and then that Monday for UIL Band Practice. It was a really cold day, rainy too..and so that was already a given that our focus wasn't good.. So after the warm-up.. Mr. Stein(bd) was like, "Okay guys, Go ahead and warm yourself up and play long tones.." As soon as he said that, some kid started playing the show..
Ehem, Lowbrass kid, if I may add. lol Mr. Stein started ranting on how why we are so focused at comp., but yet we still have one more left and you don't have focus on the only day we can rehearse. It's like we got some Scitzofrenic(sp?) band. It was rather funny, again disapointing. I feel sorry for the ones who REALLY do work hard.
