so yah...today rgssb got a gold(with no honours) and suddenly, some of us are starting to put the blame of the failure to achieve a gwh by rgssb by the so-called screw-up by the bass trombonist during the opening of the song Singapore Sunrise...do u really think that we shld put all the blame on that single piece of screw-up???do you really think that it is fair that the person who has committed the screw-up be blamed for the inability of the band to achieve GWH???...NO...i dunt think so...ppl might say that music is abt wad the audience hears...but i personally believe that the true beauty of music is that we spend hundreds of hours to try and perfect your song...but cruelly, sometimes, God makes fun of us...just when we are able to play that part to perfection during practices, we "screwed" it up during the actual performance...so...do you really think that it is fair to blame someone who has worked soooooooooooooooooo hard but just fails to deliver the goods??after all, if it is really due to this that the band is unable to achieve GWH, then i have no more to argue against it...BUT facts have shown that this one piece of screw-up will not cause a perfect band to fall into the gold category...if it is just this one piece of screw-up, then the band will still achieve GWH, cause one minor piece of screw-up will not cost the band dear...HOWEVER, if the band only got gold and have this screw-up, this shows that there are other minute screw-ups within the performance itself, just that normal ppl hear the foremost screw-up more clearly than the others, hence they think that the screw-up is the cause of the failure of the band to achieve GWH...HOWEVER,to the judges and those more musically-inclined ppl, they will not fail to notice the other minute screw-ups and tend, will not put so much blame on that particular screw-up alone...WHAT im trying to say here is that band is a team effort, not an individual effort...when ppl screw-up, how many will be brave enuff to step forth to say that you have also screwed-up???but when the piece is nice, how many will step backwards and say that it is a team effort instead of an individual effort???think abt it guys...and also...the beauty of music, as i re-emphaised here again, is the hrs that you have put in to perfect it, not the 5 minutes on stage that you have spent to flaunt your so-called talent...HENCE, WE SHALL NOT BLAME THE BAND'S PERFORMANCES ON OBVIOUS SCREW-UPS...WE SHALL EITHER NOT SPEAK ABT IT AND IMPROVE NEXT TIME, OR JUZ FORCE EVERYONE ELSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE ALSO SCREWED-UP, JUST THAT ITS NOT THAT OBVIOUS...
