More interesting points, Kenneth.
One of the most disheartening things that I think I've come across is the large numbers of band directors - of all people (at least around here) - who express no interest in the Symphony Orchestra nor do they encourage their students/parents to patronize it.
Further, there are a few band directors (around here, anyway) who are annoyed by potential conflicts when a student or two of theirs auditions and is accepted into the local Youth Symphony...
...astonishing (what an overt expression of...of... ...jealousy???)
