Lectures

There are few things I have discovered about myself over the years, as I'm sure you can imagine.

One thing that's for sure, I HATE being lectured. I like conversation and debate...I hate someone telling me what I should do, feel, think, etc.

Rules are rules and all that, and if I break a rule I expect to be told how it is. Folks who think their opinion is the rule, though...that's rude and small minded. There are two people in my life who do this constantly. Honestly, I have no room for it.

Future or current drum majors of the world...try not to lecture. Uphold the standards of your organization and hold people accountable for following the rules...but don't lecture unless it's absolutely necessary.
