You Can

從上週五到今天，剛剛好七天。老實說，能有這樣的成果，我很佩服。但是建中樂旗隊之所以是建中樂旗隊，就是因為我們總是以專業為目標、以完美為典範。雖然我們離這樣的理想還有很遠的距離，但是我們知道，只要不斷努力、不斷要求自己，我們就會向理想靠近。

所以，給自己鼓勵，給自己信心，滿心期待的參加比賽。

加油！

From Good to Better

How do you feel?  What score would you give yourselves on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 being extremely poor, 10 being perfect)?

I think you delivered your performance in a responsible way.  You looked like a disciplined and professional marching band throughout the day.  I liked the unity you projected in your uniforms.  I was especially impressed by your first "run-through" before you began the parade.  The band looked very focused.  Everyone concentrated.  That was why you were able to successfully execute all the details we have been emphasizing throughout our previous rehearsals.  

Although it is a pity that we were not televised live, I still saw some news clips on one of the news channels.  We looked only "fair".  There were some timing issues in the feet.  I also saw problems with your instrument postures.  These issues need to be addressed and fixed if we want to become a better band.

I thank you for working hard for the past two weeks.  You have improved vastly.  You have given me more confidence in sustaining the legacy of CKMB.  I sincerely hope you have tasted that "sweet spot" and enjoyed the excitement of performing in front of people with so many teammates.  Please continue to work hard so that we can upgrade to a new level.

Congratulations.  I give you a 75 for today's performance.  Well done!

Good Job

I think you did a satisfactory job today. The second try was better than the first. Your improvement is worth commending.

There are still times when some of you cannot march on the correct foot. This is a serious problem. Feet need to be together ALWAYS! Listen to the percussion, and let your feet follow the beats. Your music should follow your feet.

In addition, you need to stand up tall and straight. You should look strong and confident. Slouching on your spines not only is harmful, but also ugly.

We don't need to compare ourselves with others. We only need to strive for "perfection". You have to know who you want to be. You need to imagine yourselves as a group of professional performers. Only when you have a vision in your head do you know to which direction you can go.



This photo is very impressive. Great job.

Keep up the good work!

成長

我今天很高興有機會跟一年級的同學講一些話。或許有些話你們現在聽不太懂，但是希望大家可以試著思考。

成長不是一件容易的事情，有時候甚至是不舒服的事情。但是我們總是得經歷這段陣痛期，才有辦法獨當一面，才有辦法擴大自己的「舒適區」。

壓力使人成長。我們要學會面對壓力、處理壓力。

責任使人成長。成長是自己的責任。我們遇到問題，要先看看自己有沒有辦法解決。如果沒有辦法，我們才去尋求他人的協助，或者藉由他人的經驗來指引自己。我們不能把自己的問題丟給別人解決，這樣不僅不負責任，別人提供的解決方案通常也不會合乎我們的意思。

樂旗隊帶給大家很多壓力、很多挑戰、很多困難。你現在學著處理，你就多一份經驗，這對「成長」很有幫助。當然，你也可以選擇「延後」面對這種壓力，因為你的身體或心理或許還沒準備好。但這些壓力不會消失；這些壓力只是會以其他形式出現而已。比較棘手的是，我們年紀愈大，面對的責任與壓力往往也會愈大，屆時處理起來就需要更多氣力了。

總之，我很高興今天有機會和大家聊天。如果大家以後碰到什麼困難，也歡迎提出來。我覺得這種聊天的情境其實不錯，因為大家會發現其實每個人遇到的問題都大同小異。或許藉由同學的經驗，我們也可以找到借鏡。

我很期待和各位經營精彩的樂旗生活。這不會從天而降，而是要努力經營。

加油。

甜頭

大家今天辛苦了。天還沒亮就起床，早上在冷氣寒風和喇叭噪音中當大會樂隊，下午在豔陽和大風裡練習，回到家一定也天黑了。

不過，這就是樂旗隊的生活。或許大家身體都很累，但如果你心靈很滿足，那我真要恭喜你，因為擬向成功邁進了一大步。

成功的人，他一定「想」成功。因為「想要」成功，所以他會努力。就這麼簡單。

我覺得早上的出隊狀況還不錯，大家都很嚴謹，也沒有什麼不可挽回的錯誤（不過大會歌紛亂進來還是很糗；我已經叮囑指揮以後要如何避免這種狀況了）。

下午的練習，我很滿意，也很滿足。三天前預校，我們亂七八糟，不知所以然，簡直是國慶的災難。今天下午練習，幾乎是一次比一次好，第一次練習和最後一次練習就進步了將近二十分。大家要好好思考，為什麼會進步。是因為你前面五個禮拜努力不懈的練習嗎？是因為你有一股不服輸的氣嗎？是因為學長在旁邊不斷提醒嗎？好好想想，因為當你知道你進步的原因，你就等於知道進步的方法，而且你還知道哪裡不足，也會開始學習怎麼改掉這些錯誤。

我希望大家今天有嚐到一點點樂旗隊的甜頭。或許是出隊的趣味，或許是今天下午眾人圍觀的「屏氣凝神」，或許是進步的興奮，無論如何，大家要努力不懈。

好好唸書，好好練習。希望以後的練習都有今天這樣的效率、氣氛與努力。加油！

兩件事

一、昨日預校錄影：http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~b93504007/CKMB_20081001.wmv

缺點：
1.沒有對齊！旗隊、樂隊都有這個問題，以銅管最嚴重。
2.嚴重錯腳！
3.音樂沒有音量上的變化
4.樂器號口沒有維持水平。及身體姿勢不好看。

優點：
1.木管對齊狀況尚可。
2.旗隊整齊的地方不錯。間距也取得不錯。

當務之急：
1.絕對不可以踏錯腳！
2.各排間距要拉大一點。
3.姿勢一定要正確！號口一定要抬平！




另外，室外市賽為 10/31。
我們明天團練討論要不要參加。
