Welcome
Welcome to everyone. I am Mr. Owen and I am the director of bands here at this high school. I plan on making this one of the top bands here within this district. I would hopefully like to see this band as one of the top high school band programs in the state.
We have all heard the phrase "practice makes perfect". I do not believe this is so. I believe in two(2) phrases, "'perfect' practice makes perfect" and "good enough is neither". The first phrase means that even though you practice does not mean that the end result will be what I am looking for. The second one basically states that something is either good or it is bad, there is no middle ground. I also believe that you will get out of something what you put into it. If you do not practice, you will not do good; but, if you pour your heart and soul into it, you can make it grow into the best thing that you can think of. This is how our ensembles are going to get to the top. They will learn how to pace them selves, create a team/family and live inside of it and work with the other members of the team/family. They will also learn how to apply them selves to the best of their ability and give 100% in everything they do.
