Subj: Re: [DR-L] packing up prob's (was On-stage warmups)

Miriam asks:
"BTW, are any oboists allowed to have their cases on stage (for easy access
to swab, tuner, tissues, blotting paper, etc.)?"
Even when I attended a state university I was *invited* to have
anything/everything I might possibly need on stage with me. These days, if a
conductor tells us where to "leave our instrument cases", I either ignore
the comment or respectfully educate them on the real-world protocol.
