I rarely post, but have a couple of questions and would appreciate your experience and advice.
Two subjects: Ear protectioin, and section decorum. Disgruntled section players disrespecting choices of Principal, Ear protection: 9 Horns in one line. Assistant, Principal, and Second directly in front of Trumpets and Trombones, lower horns in front of Percussion, All sections complained our bells pointed to them To me, it's simple science. Reverse sections to get all of us out of the obvious line of fire.....(did not feel appropriate making any suggestions as I served as an extra). Still looking for the best solution in ear plugs. I would also be intersted in opinions and experiences of Principals that have dealt with the discontent of section players. There are proper procedures in place to handle needs, by the way. Please answer off line if you would like. Thank you for your help. I would like to maintain good aural health.
