I really have neglected to update on this thing because school and band take up basically all of my time.
Unfortunately, I am not in the mood I would like to be in.
I am really not feeling this year's marching band. I haven't felt like that all four years that I have been here. I don't know why, because this is probably the best band we've ever had. This is definitely the band with the most potential, no doubt about that. Just, this band is probably the most immature band. I feel like, as a leader, I'm being taking advantage of. Everyone who is still there, they all know that Kira and I are probably the hardest working leaders out there, but really, is what I'm saying going in one ear and out the other? Our worst section is the clarinets, because, they talk. All the time. It's not all of them (I can pinpoint exactly who does it every time), but those people are dragging us down because they are consistently wrong, and they constantly bicker. I hate having to LJ cut some bullshit into my blog because I feel out of place yelling at them constantly, but it isn't my place. I just wish the other leaders would step up to what I'm trying to do, besides Mike, who is pushing the drumline really hard. I have doubts about our first competition, yet I told everyone to stay positive. I wonder if being secretly being hypocritical about motivating people is bad?
Other then that, school is really bumming. I couldn't really tell you the last time I was this stressed out.
December needs to come faster, and it really needs to bring snow with it.
