Re: Some things I think makes a "pro" performer or group

Alexi, since I've never seen or heard you play, I have no idea whether your own criteria apply to you, but it's clear you're a professional and the reason is under your signature:

>Clarinetist with the 282nd Army Band - Fort Jackson's Own

Namely: money. You're an Army musician. That means you get paid to play. That fact alone makes you a pro.

Your standards apply to things that qualify people to turn pro, or that qualify a pro to be well-respected, or make a pro a good musician, or all of the above. But the only solid, indisputable measure of professional or not professional is whether or not anyone will hire you.
