I have DEFINITELY seen this bias. I have had SEVERAL students enter contests, and I don't want to sound like I'M biased, but I have seen some pretty marginal flute players beat my good tuba guys (& gals). I've even been TOLD that my guy (or gal) was best, but they didn't think they could get the parts, or the audience might not appreciate the PIECE they played. BOY, DOES THAT FRY MY BACON! (sorry for yelling). Tony Clements
