okay.

how am i gonna start this?

we have a contest coming up and we started practicing and shit. i'm the guitarist and vocals as well.

why am i triggered?

there's a lot. let me list it down for you.

we had 3 (or 4) groups and each has parts. group 1 is all silent and shit when they are supposed to be loud and fading at the next. they all got aggravated and saying that the other groups should be adjusting to them.

now, we will perform this somewhere with a huge audience and shit. we won't be using mics here so the volume of the voice is clearly important.

they were using falsetto which is bad since it starts low and not high off the bat.

we quickly fixed the problem here. and the most annoying thing is that they were still silent. and they were telling the others who are doing the part to adjust once again.

that's number 1. number 2 is drums.

i love drums. i don't play the drums but i love it. we will use the drums but you see, the song calls for fast shit. so you gotta be fast. and all of the sudden, the drums are fucking slow wtf

not to mention, one of our teachers criticized us which is good because improvements yey! but other than that, the drums are tragic.

it's too slow which means we gotta be slow too.

third is professionalism. if someone makes a mistake in your practice, what do you do? continue on right? exactly not the case for me. a simple mistake was made and all laughed, destroying the session itself. it makes me so annoyed because they are taking precious time laughing and taking it as a joke instead of practicing seriously.

i get it; we should have fun but there are times that we should be focused and serious y'know?

fourth is cueing. they have to count 1 to 3 to start a part of a song when it should be right away. if you know where you will start singing, you wouldn't have to cue and shit. all you have to know is the sequence and that you will only sing. what's wrong with that?

in all actuality, in the actual performance, there's no cue or anything like that. we just have to go and go and go. cueing will only make it worse.

i'm honestly so stressed right now that i can cry. no really. i can cry. it's too hard for me to do this one thing and manage the other. and all of the things i mentioned is added and i am in the brink of crying.
