What is Mr. G talking about? Well, it is pretty simple Do A Get B, Don't Do A Don't Get B. Basically, put in the hard work, time, sacrifice which is A and you will get a satisfying outcome which is B. I want to relate this to the band world if possible. We have all seen bands that sound great, have a wonderful marching band and perform at the top of their class. What we don't see is the dedication, hard work and sacrifice that is put into a successful performance. I have been involved with band programs over 30 years as a performer or director and I have not found any short cuts to success. By being dedicated and working hard satisfying performances can be achieved on every level. I want to encourage my new students too strive to be the best band members and musicians they can be. Proper preparation equals a powerful performance. All of us working toward A, will lead us together to reach our goal of B!
