2016 All Japan National Conference winning band
Athleticism and musicianship. The uptempo swing starts as 3:40 and I hope someone stays to see their reactions to their first win in years.

They already did in that performance
It was just pixelated.

Are you sure they won?
They seem very upset.

I want to know how they practice?
If half of them can't do evenings and the other half don't want to do weekends. And when they do get together the rehearsal rooms are too small and they're always booked up. I bet it's a nightmare.

That describes the previous incarnation of my band to a T
They all wanted to gig, but none were prepared to be available for regular band practise.

I got so frustrated I scrapped it.
Progress was so tediously slow that it just wasn't fun anymore, it was just unsatisfying hard work. Me, the drummer and guitarist have got back together without the rest of them, and it is so much easier. We've got a little gig next month and we're already up to performance standard which is such a nice position to be in, and being in a band is fun again.

Cool!
We have a 'promise' of a decent sized gig in 2019. Practicing more than once every three months would be dead helpful

Feck that, I thought I was listening to a hovis advert at the start. Then it went urgh.... was quite enjoying remembering little shites on bikes with baskets of rock hard logs.

Relief at no longer having to endure bullying and shame at rehearsals perhaps
Militaristic display combined with swing is bizarre, but Japan.

Whiplash
Having seen batons thrown, I can attest to encounters of emotional violence, fear and humiliation.

Whiplash was good drama
and pretty disturbing. From experience, musicians who survived the tough US and Russian schools deal with stress well. Brits have a great sang-froid.
The bullying I have witnessed was pretty harsh, and very, very irrational.

This stuff always impresses me, as I cannot even exit a room without bumping in to at least two pieces of furniture and the door frame.
Also, nice not to see and hear the whooping and hollering and whooping and chest bumping and whooping and high-fiving and whooping that would have ensued if this was in USA.
