Hey PERCS!
Hey yah, the posts have been removed under instructions given by LaiCheng.
I would like to summarize everything said by Hamizan and everyone from the section who has given comment on the tagboard.
Maybe I'm used to monitoring these stuffs on my class blog, so, please don't mind me being extra here yah.
Firstly, Hamizan, we do know you're trying your best, and by scolding us, you're wanting the section to really improve, do our best and go all out for band comp.
By scolding Mandy, your other partner, you are also hoping that she would try to work alongside with you to achieve the perfection of playing the cymbals together. But, to want her to put in all her effort, you have to earn her respect first.
To scold her on the tagboard is simply not an act of respecting her either.
Your harsh words are just enough to make her feel even more angered, she's a girl and just a Sec2 girl. She hasn't got much experiences for such stuffs, hasn't she? At least the rest of us have gone through various public performances and perhaps, less grilling practices.
Be gentle while teaching her. How else would she dare to approach you for help if you're that fierce and not approachable?
Going through this period with a calm mind is seriously what we should be doing. Why have inner conflicts when what we want is the best for the section and nonetheless, the band. We should work towards our goal together and not let this affect our performance for the practices ahead. Like what Wei'en says, inner conflicts are really too much for us to handle now.
And quote from Wei'En as well, blogs are simply too sensitive a venue for us to express such stuffs despite it being true. If you, Hamizan, truly want us to do well, say it openly to us during section talks when everyone is there, even if you're not a SL or ASL, I believe we would listen if you mean everything you say and is going to work as hard as us and of course, encourage and remind us to check our posture, behaviour and attitude when you feel the need to.
No need for harsh words, na-na. Take note of these, it's going out to all of us, the strong-headed percussion section 2008.

p.p.s MY last tag is the most important one! Take care, drink more water, apply sunblock, sleep early, get enough rest, and go for band pracs with an attitude ready to face everything together as a section! [:
