About great plans and other stuff

We're going to have a maturita ball in the end of January.
It's a custom for the maturita year grade to organize it and to prepare a special program. This year, a group of people has emerged, claiming: "Fine, the previous balls may have been good in some ways, but there were a lot of problems. We have to wholly change the preparations and wholly change the system of the ball." It was not said precisely this way, but this was the meaning.
Now not that I wouldn't like to make the ball nice. Still, I don't think it will be that wonderful those people want it to be. Why not?
Well, there are people, who claimed this, yet haven't done anything more. Fine. Next there are a few people, who are truly dedicated to this and I can't help admiring them. Yet I think they (or we) can't succeed.
Sure, it's a bit demoralizing to say it this soon, but it's my feeling. I will do my best; but nonetheless, I think, even though, we'll (hopefully) improve some things, a lot of the people will be disappointed - ore even if they don't speak it "publicly, they'll feel that way.
In my experience, the only successful changes are the small ones. A lot of small things, that's the way to change something. Big changes tend not to be realized at all, or are reversed after a while.
The exceptions may be dedicated individuals, or groups of these, who may change their lives abruptly. But in this case, there may be a few dedicated people, yet the most people in the grade are apathetic. Not even dedicated individuals can change that many apathetic (more or less) people, or only very rarely. Or by a long-time example of dedicated and successful behavior, but this case is not a long-time case.
I'd like my opinion be refuted, but I don't think so. We'll change some things, but it won't be in the way that would be remembered for many following years (or even decades).
