However, the split vote there (19 to 12), compared to the unanimous approval they typically gave every other new toy, shows the appetite for this change is not where it needs to be yet. Any information about which organizations voted for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hereabouts even non-profits with budgets more than twice the size of, say, Bluecoats don't pay their directors that much. Other parts of the country are more expensive, though.

All Instruments are the beliefs of other that they're being true to. I understand why people don't want all instruments, but I really don't think it will be the end of the genre. I think the genre already died. Troopers in pajamas was my wake up call that things have changed. He wasn’t being used as a weapon. Quit projecting your defensiveness into my words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing is on the wall and they feel they need to evolve to continue. They’ll miss us for a brief moment, but won’t shed a tear or look in the rear view mirror because they feel this is the direction the activity is moving. To them this is a passing thing, just like adding concert brass instruments and electronics. To some of us, it’s the line in the sand that many of us drew 50 years ago and said “cross this, and we’re done”. THIS IS HUGE! Harsh reality, they don’t care nearly as much as you do, and they know you’ll be to replaced by new fans and members. Yeah it’s harsh, but it is what it is. They think they know. But woodwinds is far more divisive than Amos or Bb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
