wind band follow up

i was wondering if anyone else hears the "ringing" a band has especially when playing transcriptions of orchestral music. it has really bothered me for some time. i have played so few pieces that felt right in band that i have almost given up trying to appreciate it. band can be fun with the violin parts being so "scaley" and technically exciting, but stuff like grainger makes me ill. i go to the university of illinois and the band director here seems to be some big shot grainger guy, so i've heard and played a lot of it. yuk!
i find the same problem in some woodwind quintet transcriptions and even poorly written original pieces, but it is not as severe as the whole band.
