Skylar nodded as Blaine replied, biting his lip as he took a seat in the indicated chair. He set his bag to the side as he settled himself into a more comfortable position. Something told the leader that now wasn’t the best time, that maybe his coach had more important thing to attend to. But he also knew that he already came this far, there was no point in backing out. As he brought his gaze back to his mentor, Skylar took a breath before diving into his previously written speech.
“I’m sure you’ve noticed, but the Warblers have been a little..disconnected. Ever since Jane transferred teams, they have been upset. Which is understandable, however I need your help trying to get the team back up to par. We have so much potential, I would hate for this one incident to ruin it.”
Sighing quietly after Skylar voiced his concerns and only confirmed that they were on the same page–Blaine sat back in his chair and rested laced together fingers on top of his stomach. His thumbs jutted up in time with his eyebrows–an idea came to mind. “I have noticed. And the Warblers mean far too much to me to let this keep festering. You’re right. It’ll wreck us from the inside out if we ignore what’s going on and this team has been through too much to fall again. I think we need a challenge to focus on again.”
The Warblers thrive on the energy of performing above anything else. Why not give it to them? “What about a mid-season showcase? Assign everyone to pick their own song and perform it in front of the school? Or we could pair off. A group performance at the end could really be the kicker. We need something to work towards. Get our focus back on what means the most to us. Each other and the music and what we do best. What are your thoughts on what they need? Do you think this will help?”
