In regard to the post below, I wonder how many of you think that it is wise
to place someone in an All-State Band or Orchestra when they haven't
actually earned the position through stiffly competetive auditions! It
seems to me that this student will be terribly disillusioned later on, at
some point, when he/she finds out that some are much more advanced. There's
no point in having an "Honor Band or Honor Orchestra" if the participants
are not the best players, (at least out of those who chose to audition)!
And, by the way, I totally agree with Kenin's post below!
Ready for the flames!

==========================================

I agree Carl. Try that with an All State sports team , and all hell would
break loose.
