So let's see who is louder! Get all those students to "join" the scabs
and at the conductor's downbeat start a rousing chorus of "Solidarity
Forever" and have a marathon - filibuster repeat ad infinitum - until the
union's modest demands are met. Get the ballet de corps to sing along ,
too.

The Colorado Ballet was scheduled to switch to tapes instead of paid live
human musicians and the community raised an uproar a few years back.

Is there a website or mail address where we can send letters of
protestation?
