jbrih13 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 i was talking to some people who were in our band when they won Grant Nats in 03' and they were saying part of their success was due to the fact that Geiger was positive when he was out there, he movitated everyone to want to continue, and he pushed them. that made many of them want to be there to, they wanted to win not only for themselves but for their director who was willing to do anything for anyone one of them...we cant say we have that motivation from the band or directors anymore...its sad, and discourageing Quote

If u have someone yelling at u constantly, and bringing you down, instead of helping you fix your problems, and giving you at least a little praise and encouragement then most people would not want to work hard and continue, to give it their all, and that is enough to make our band suffer as a whole during competitions (not getting placements we "think" we deserve). I think this is also true. I have many friends that are/have either quitting, not doing marching season, or still thinking about whether or not to stay in because band is not fun anymore. I find it sad, but I can't really blame them. Quote

Nope. IMO I think it is great for anybody to motivate and help anyone out even if they are not leadership. Just because someone didn't apply for leadership doesn't mean they don't have some insightful words to say; and plus, section leaders need help sometimes too. Quote

crazyjakeup Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 water is for the weak... during water breaks i would run around the field... Quote
crazyjakeup Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 no... idk if yall remember me talkin about band being a sorry excuse for a P.E. credit.... Quote
bossman Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 yeah right, we do more in one day of summer camp than P.E. does in a full semester. Quote
barisaxy08 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 actually...he's pretty accurate. compare getting dressed out for a grade to getting graded for how well you can march. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 this is why people in america get fatter and fatter... the PE kids not getting pushed hard enough. band kids getting PE credit... in florida middle school band kids get PE credit, and they dont even march... Quote
