Dear Rookies,
I know our band director gets on us upperclassmen for our leadership A LOT. HOWEVER, he fails to realize that when we take his advice and say "Shut up and just do it like I am" you back-talk us, you whine, you argue, you come up with excuses, the list goes on.
Now, I was a rookie once too, and that was a BAD YEAR to be a rookie marcher. (A full page of complicated 16th note runs at over 200 bpm, criss-crossing in close lines across the field.) This year, you don't have it too bad. I know that it's still intimidating and hard, but we're trying to help you. Really. Then you turn around and whine that we aren't helping you enough. If we were helping you anymore, we'd be carrying you. Literally.
This is Marching Band. This is NOT Elementary Band class.
You may be new, but you have to work JUST AS ******* HARD AS US! I think you fail to realize just how badly we need you. Which is a lot. Just, for ONCE, shut up and DO WHAT WE'RE DOING!!!!!!!!!
your exasperated senior marcher
