It's another problem

So, I went back to check on you guys a few days back. And, I was stunned, once again. It's not that you guys improve or whatsoever, but, you guys have nothing right now. I really mean it, NOTHING. You know what I felt the first time I stepped into y'all practice? I was like, what are they doing?! Come on! It's a band camp and everyone was like, this camp sucks!! The year end band camp should be cheerful, fun, exciting, and each member would be very eager to learn more. But, it's different from what I saw. Way too different. Every member was having that fussy face on them. It's like they hated it for such a long time. Sigh. Where are the spirits that all of you once gained? The whole 2010 year was like the best thing that happened to all of us, but now? Ask yourself then. Deep down in your heart, do you still love this band, this big family??
I even started to hear some rumours that some of you are quiting? Worse still, some are planning on to rebel? I'm so so so speechless.

Hey, come on guys, think about it, please.

2010 first post ever. =D

It's been a year since the last post was updated. So sorry for the delay. It had been a busy year for all of us. I don't wanna talk about this year's achievement or so so. I just wanna talk about the bond that has been growing between each member.
I remembered when we first started practicing, everyone was still having their "mind your own business" thinking. I saw it, and I was very worried. Tell you guys a secret, I've been thinking on how to improve and bring everyone closer as a family since I haven't even started running the band. It was like an impossible task for me to deal with such a great band with so many members that have different types of personality. Some are nice, indeed. But, there are still some members that acted "strangely" during our practices. I kept thinking, what can I do to make everyone love each other and would be willing to help each other, like a family.
So after a year of thinking and discussing with the experienced ones, I thought of something. Something that can make all of us to co-operate with each other. For sure, I cant tell you here what it is. But if you're one of the member, I think you know what I meant earlier on.
And so, when I first started taking over this huge responsibility, I started my very own type of "ruling". It was harsh at first, I've met a lot of problems. Everybody was upset by the attendance of the members. This makes the others went down and moody. For sure, I cant be like them. What would the members react when they see their leaders moody and sad? Ofcourse, they would react the same way. And so, I force myself to be in a jovial mood, to be as passionate as ever. Soon the whole band reacted the same way although our attendance were extremely bad. From day1 of the band camp until the last day of camp, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. After that, I'm more confident what this band is lack of.
Days went on and on. We attended practices after practices, camp after camp. Ofcourse there were some bad moments, and everyone was like: "okay, i give up" But, as you can see, we made it till the end. Right? Our so-called "family bond" was getting stronger after each practice. Do you remember? Everyone was so so so happy during the band camp especially when the competition was near. Still don't get what I mean? Ok. Remember what happened when the day of the competition was just tomorrow? Yeah. I''m sure all of us would remember that remarkable day. Still remember how you guys reacted after hearing that news? Still remember when we were about to marched out of the stadium entrance?? We shouted LOUD AND PROUD for each other before going in to perform. Let me tell you something, the feeling was extremely amazing. Only those who joined the competition knew what the feeling was.
That's what I called them, THE FAMILY BOND OF CHKB MARCHING BAND. I'm proud of being one of them, are you?

As for now, the era of 2010 had ended. A new era was established. So CHKB, fight for another miracle, would you?
