Margaret, you think I have no experience with Brass Band or Military Band (this is our naming in contrary to yours: Marching Band). I joined a semi professional band (Railway) when I was eleven, playing first horn: marches (and we marched also, even in the rain), waltzes, ouvertures, fantasies, sound track music, etc. and when I was 14, I played in 4 bands, means Railway, Tram & Electricity, City and a suburb with rehearsals on four different evenings, plus in a chamber orchestra & the local amateur (semi professional) symphony orchestra. I stopped playing in the band, when entering the full time professional orchestra at age 19.
If you are not capable to endure critics, then you better cease making music. ============================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Margaret Dikel Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 8:46 PM To: The Horn List Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Emphasis on Marching If anyone needs to initiate an invitation to open the mind in communities, I believe it is you, Prof. Pizka, who most in need of this. It certainly appears to me that you believe that there is no good music unless it is done in a manner you feel is appropriate with no consideration for any other means. I apologize to the entire list for this conversation. However, I also apologize to you, Prof. Pizka, because I have really lost all respect for your thoughts on this topic.
