Unfortunately this is a trend, and it is happening more and more around the country. It is called the virtual pit orchestra, and it means trouble for a lot of us.They are coming to Buffalo soon, and it is putting people out of good paying gigs. Anyone of us who thinks it doesn't affect you personally, please look at it this way; Even if you aren't the "first call" for the shows, the player who was is now looking for more work to make up that lost income. At least when he/she was in the pit, you knew your gig was yours. I don't want this taken as a slant against show players, because I do a lot of them myself, but any time jobs are lost in our profession, it means trouble for all of us
