> - history of TX community bands (given the TSHA's involvement)
> - how community bands serve in lieu of formal paid organization
> (e.g. where there there is no prof. orchestra)
> - the role of bands overall in the community, past/present/future
> I am NOT really interested in civic (paid) bands, though the fact
> that community bands have replaced them due to changing times and
> priorities will be touched upon. Both the Dallas and TX Winds will get
mentions as they are that rarity, a community group which evolved into
professional organizations.
