RBC Band News: online!

Hello everyone.

Great show on Saturday night, everybody! I hope everyone had a great show.
Congrats, especially, to Carl, Mary, and our wonderful guard dancers!!!

In other news, however...I must bring up something that isn't very fun.

I know that a major theme of the practices lately has been "FOCUS" (or lack of).

I did some research into this apparent problem, and I asked two marchers.
Both agreed that the "social conversations" don't really exist.

In fact, the source of the extra banter is people correcting each other after a set.
For instance:

Subject A marches 16 counts.
Subject B corrects A, telling them to move left, up forward, etc.
Subject A becomes confused and asks Subject C if they are in the right place.

Three people are now involved in Subject A's problem.

So therefore, if everyone is correcting each other, of course there is extra noise and confusion.

I'll mention this issue to Mr. Powers later today.
REMEMBER: it's no one person in particular.

Since I don't march, my task is to make sure the pit is quiet.
So I'll concentrate on that for now.

This problem will be fixed as soon as we all understand what's actually going on.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Sam
