You go, Nancy! When I taught Grade School band, I welcomed all the help I
could get from private instructors. The attitude that THE local band
director is the know-all, end-all for music instruction as portrayed by
Meredith Wilson should be long gone. When I was teaching I made it my
business to know who at least a few of the leading virtuosos were on each
instrument so I could point kids to a model. This guy needs a major
attitude adjustment. I wouldn't want to hear his band.
