msg by drum major.
Hello fellow bandmates, I am here to share my views, my expectations, what I am looking forward to in working with the band, and how we together can go to greater heights.
Its such a great opportunity to be a drum major of this wonderful band. On the other hand I understand that it is not going to be an easy job. therefore, I need your 100% co-operation in bringing up the standard of the band. and remember, I am going to put in my best so there is no excuse for you not to!
To start with we need to know that a band,in our case,refers to A GROUP of musicians employing brass, percussion, and often woodwind instruments that plays together. So first, remember each and every action that you do in the band, may affect the whole band either negatively or positively. You have to think twice before acting.second, A GROUP does not act alone. As a band we have to move together as a whole.this is team work. The most important thing in team work here is communication and trust.you have to first trust your teammates before executing orders and carrying things out. And without a good communications within members, everything will be messed up.
And hearing your complains, it is fully understood that band practise can be boring at times, but it is crucial for you to know the objective of every single practise, and work together towards the targeted COMMON goal.follow rules,and stick to it.and together we will excel. And feel free to share your feedback, your opinions and your thoughts.you may approach the conductors, the teachers or seniors. Please inform me if there is anything i carry out that you are not comfortable with. I will do my best to improve.
It is tough to satisfy about 80 plus people at a time, so I need feedack to further improve on certain areas in the band.
To end what i have to say for now, I just have to say that we are going to have a great time working with each other and do not be afraid to face many challenges ahead of you. Together we strive, and be thrilled to unfold your own story in the band with the teachers, conductors and everyone! Enjoy!
Egan.
