Excuses are for losers, and luck is for the unprepared.
I don't know if you can translate that into latin but if you could, it would be the new motto of the 96th Highlanders from Saskatoon.
Here's the kicker, they're a juvenile band. Full of young kids.
Their pipe major sent an email this morning as a cap off to the weekend. Aidan herself is not an instructor but a member of the band. That line was how she ended the email.
This group always rises to the challenge. Every time we go out there they have remember everything we worked on the last time, and they have improved.
We had a great weekend, writing scores, arranging sets, talking maintenance, and now this band is ready for their contest season, in October.
First contest is February.. that's not bad.
My pick for the rising star in the grade 4 ring this season on the prairies is 96th, not because the instructors teach well (though they do), not because the parents force the kids to practice (no need), but because the kids have adopted an ownership of their band.
Good things will surely come from this.
Cheers,
Sean
