The true leader involves others in such a way that
he or she and others are elevated to a higher degree of motivation,
morale, and excellence. This interaction between leader and band member
raises the level of human conduct, aspiration, and performance. These
leaders develop a close relationship with others who then feel uplifted
and become more active themselves, creating new centers of leadership.
The development of purpose is a challenge to creativity.
It involves transitional neutral individuals into willing participants
who have a particular contribution, musical sensitivity, and sincere
commitment to offer the group. FronLthe viewpoint of the committed
band member, the organization has changed from a normal activity to
a valued source of personal satisfaction. The successful leader is
an expert in promotion and development of important values, especially
for the development of respect for the individual band member.
Respect for the individual is one of the most pervasive
similarities among excellent bands.
Nothing is more important than feeling needed, which produces high
expectations!
The most important trait of a successful band program is a uniformity
of commitment from director, members, parents, administrators, and
the community. Wherever you go in a successful band community, people
talk about the tremendous quality of their band and are proud of their
band's accomplishments.
