Wow, how good must be your orchestra as they do a concert
with two or three rehearsals ONLY, while world class
orchestras have five to six rehearsals (public dress
rehearsal included) for a concert program .
Not in Britain they don't! British orchestras are perpetually broke and
Here in South Carolina, USA, it is much the same
way. My wife, also a horn player, has one
rehearsal this coming Saturday, with the concert on
Sunday. It's very common for that type of thing in
this area. In fact, I've played a few concerts with
no rehearsals!
It's all about saving money
Can anyone out there explain why the intonation is lower when playing off

this health problem and had a hard time doing anything well, let alone playing
horn. They all reported improvement in their playing and

Have you confirmed this change in intonation with an electronic tuner? It
may be that the tone color is different and subjectively 'feels' different
Rebecca, it does not interfer with your teaching, off
course. But it is not so good, if you play the first two
weeks after the removal of the tonsills as the increased air
pressure in your mouth might result in after bleeding
which is not without danger. I had this once, when I got my
tonsills
If there is a change, I would expect it to result from a change of
right hand position in the bell. Use ears to listen and adjust to
correct any deviation from pitch center.

This sounds too familiar. It is too bad that pep band is a requirement,
and your director is probably succumbing to the pressure of providing
entertainment in order to justify the program. I see this all too
often. I don't want to jump to any conclusions here, as he/she might
actually think
