I would like to add once again, my 2c. I played in the American Musical
Ambassadors band, a recommendation only band--you had to pay for it as well,
in 1986. We toured 7 European countries in the span of one month. Years
later, I heard that the director, Maxine Lefever makes a lot of money on this
thing, but it's very worth it. Some of the musicians were very good, and
some of them merely could afford the trip.
But my point is this, at one point, we stayed with host families in Ede,
Netherlands and it was one of the best experiences of the whole trip. They
were a very well educated young family, with small children and just
wonderful. I felt it was the only time I got to see how a European family
lived. I hope to see them again.
