Hope that everyone would be able to work together to achieve greater heights with the Band.Please restore the glory TSMB once had long time ago and is now long gone. Leaders please have more initiative in things and do not overlook on issues that might be of importance to the Band. Deal issues with caution and do not act rashly on impulse,it doesnt help at all.
Quarter Masters, please continue to take constant care of instruments and not let them rot. Keep in account every instrument going in and out of the Band room. The instruments are the soul of the Band...do not lose them. If there's need of help, you can ask the ex-QMs or people who have been a QM once. Being a QM is not just about taking care of instruments, there are still a lot of logistics to do. Lastly, make sure each and every of the instruments are maintain in the best condition it can be. The QMs will come back and check on things when we have time. There's still more but this is a blog, not a place to explain things.
Librarian, please also do the same...take care of the scores...do not let them become vegetables and waste paper. They are the books that allows the Band to gain knowledge.
Secreatary, please maintain or even better increase the standard of our Band's image...you guys are part of our Band's image consultant. Make sure when there are outings,they are dressed neatly with their badges and stuff. The notice boards are also our advertisment flyers....make sure they newlyu decorated in a way that just by looking at the notice board...it tells the rest of the school how much fun and interesting is Band other than just music playing and making.
Student Conductor, please assist Mr Subronto in conducting the Band if there is a need. Always upgrade yourself musically and do not always be shy to tell them what you feel about their music if it need improvement. If you need help,u can always call me or ask me when i am back.
As for the top 3 posts....all i have to say that u guys have to work even more closely and you guys are the Head and the brain...not saying the rest aren't just that leaders of the Band are those who thinks of ways to improve the Band and change evil into good. You guys are the parents of the Band, do not lose your children and make sure they aren't bullied. Keep them in safe hands.
That is all i have to say to the New Committee Memebers. Please make sure the Band's standard doesnt drop but actually increase. Of course it would be great to increase it rather than drop. So Good Luck to the New Committee once again and may you guys be able to work together to achieve great heights, including even the sectional leaders and assistants.
Ex-BM,
Jon
