i like this band

The formation is coming , its just around the corner .for all the member especially the committee , we are freaking out ,most of us are giving never less than 100 % during practise ,simply because we was tired of losing to others ,winning was great and it feels great too ,but ,first we need to win ourselves deep down ‘inside’ ,struggling to overcome the fear while facing the crowd ,struggling to conquer the ‘This is Impossible’ concept among the leaders and the followers .In a band ,everything is made possible simply because we are a band and we are all together in whatever we do .Together , we can rock the Sam Tet field or even bring down the stadium .In the movie ‘Swing Girls’ there is saying : “ playing the same notation is easy ,but hitting the same groove is hard ! ” . For that reason, I can bet that any team that capable of doing that ,will do well in anything .
STBB , was indeed the most wonderful miracle that happened on me .I remember I was just standard 1 when I first saw a band competition ,right at that very night ,I remembered I was holding a broom stick and pretended to be the drum major of a band .Now ,I am actually in it .The definition of ‘nice music had changed completely ever since I entered this band .I won’t say STBB is the best ,but it certainly not the worst too . I enjoyed the moment where we performed together on the stage as well as on the field under the hot sun ,the music that sweats from these moment are certainly the BEST .For those people that are not involve in a band ,you won’t understand the joy it contained when you produced music together with your friends .
Marching band requires determination ,dedication ,discipline ,passion ,friendship ,endurance ,stamina ,and last but not least ,music skill and a little bit of talent .We can tell how much you want it based on the show you put on ,some band really strive to be the best in every aspect ,every single detail is push to its limits ! Comparison brings about improvement ,but it’s also a source of stress ,for Sam Tet Brass Band ,we are forgetting the meaning of entering the band .For many years ,our goal is just to win the state competition and proceed to the national level .Winning is not a goal ,its an EFFECT ! We practised to make sure that our formation is clean ,tidy and neat , so that our music has dynamic and melody .When personal satisfaction is met ,winning will follows .
“you take the risk ,you pay the price ! “
For the past few years ,STBB had chosen to perform some fast pace song and fast pace formation ,as a result ,we pay the price for taking the risk ...for example ,2007 we performed summertime and pretty fly and ,we are were the champion of the year ... as for 2008 ,we performed Aquarius and night in white satin ,but we among the bottoms .This year ,we are taking another risk again ,because this is our style and we will stick to it !
Joining the band lets you make a whole bunch of new friends ,you begin in no where until you ended up making them as your best friends ,they support everything you do ,for example ...After some years ,when you suddenly bumped into them at a coffee shop or maybe a shopping complex ,all you both will be chatting about the whole afternoon or even late into night will be the life you had gone thorough with him many years ago in the band .After the secondary school ,I really wondered whether I can still marched with these people on the field ,playing the same old songs ,marching the same old steps ...
