brycon,

> demand.

Wow, at the risk of being overly sensitive, I have to take severe exception to that remark being even remotely applied to these Langham Creek students. Langham Creek Symphonic will typically have several honor students in the group. This year, I believe, there was one National Merit semifinalist and three National Merit commended students in this band. I’m sure you learned a lot from your former saxophone teacher, but I think he/she needs to get out of the studio and check out the real world. They’d find that musical excellence can be achieved without the rote teaching that the remark implied.
