This is just an invitation for your comments. I can't help noticing all
the mail there was about the Houston audition, and the Buffalo one coming
up will probably be the same, but I have a question. I have seen over
the last two years an amazing nuumber of jobs in U.S. service bands
which, according to members of the service, they are having a hard time
filling. Where are all these out of work clarinet players we hear
about??? If those jobs were open for me you can bet I wouldn't be out of
work. Everyone is so focused on getting that big orchestra job. I still
believe a band is a valid medium for musical experience and expression
and I would like to hear your opinions on why the the services can't get
clarinet players. I know of at least eleven open spots right now. There
are NONE here in Canada.
