School band performance

Amanda is very fickle-minded. She has been saying that she wants to quit band but keep delaying and changing her mind. She is quite discouraged because she is not progressing. She can't seem to get the right rhythm and she doesn't like to play percussion. Worse still, the band master made her the 'back-up's back-up'. Then 2 days ago, she told us that she will be performing with her school band on 17 Nov at Sentosa. So she definitely can't quit band now because she's got a performing role. And her band members will hate her if she quit at this point of time.

Amanda is feeling the pressure now. She keeps grumbling about the long hours of practice. But I keep telling her that practice makes perfect, and with perseverance and determination she will do well.

Well, as a consolation she has earned 6 points for CCA for the 1st year.
