A little explanation about the three months:
We have had several concerts between March and last week, with varied peices on the menu for each one. Still, we try to rehearse all the pieces in rotation at least every other week, so they don't drop out of practice.
I don't want to pick on the old folks either, but the band will never get better if mermbers do not take their responsibilities seriously. I am on the younger side of the band myself..I'm just 50! The band is only as good as its weakest players, when it comes to concert times. For a few of the lower end players, i am sure the only practicising they do is during the rehearsals, as I can hear them trying to "woodshed" as quietly as possible when we are not actively playing at a rehearsal. They should be doing that at home IMO.
I will be speaking with our conductor and the section leader Wednesday to see what we can do about this. It has been a chronic issue. Our section is not the only one, but I notice it most because it's where I sit.
Thanks for the replies so far. They are helpful.
