All I can say is, I've learned volumes about leadership that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else: I got to see which leadership styles work and which ones not so much in my younger years in marching band and I have the responsibility of leadership now that I'm older.
Yesterday at rehearsal, one section didn't have the best work ethic. One guard instructor essentially called all of the older members poor examples for the younger members. Every time I get to band, I automatically feel drained, as if I have no energy. I must drag myself through each rehearsal. Perhaps I just have a sugar crash or need more sleep or feel weary from all of these expectations on me to lead.
Every season, I feel as if the band's work ethic gets worse and worse. I want to place well at Championships this year. At least we're going to smaller competitions this year; therefore, we'll do well.
