Um, definitely not. If the BD expresses a problem with something you don't just keep doing it anyway. That's definitely not good leadership. If the BD says not to do it then don't do it, it's an adult-to-kid respect thing. Going against what an adult says is definitely going to be counterproductive. Have you tried having a sit down with the BD and explaining what you're doing in a respectful kid-to-adult manner? If he's still not interested after that you might want to leave it alone, you've got to respect the BD man, even when he clearly has his head between his cheeks.

thats pretty funny i'd like to say

and i also agree w/ this guy try explaining it to him before u go all vigilante or something

As if the kids at Ayala are miserable? I'd venture to guess the kids in a good program have a whole lot more fun than students in bands that suck.



When students can do "anything they want", it's a social activity or club, not a class.

If you haven't tried already, explain to him that your section leader is too lazy to do anything, so you're trying to help with what he's not helping with. If he's still mad at you, just set up rehearsals at your house or somewhere else. I don't know other then that. After all, I am a genuine idiot!

Does the rest of the section want to do the extra practices?
If they do, then you should tell your BD that and you should have no problem.
If everyone wants to practice more and have fun doing it, then there should be no problem.
