Alexi -

In every band I've played in (even including West Point), nearly everyone played as loud as possible. My motto is one I got in junior high: At ff, if you can't hear everyone else, you're too loud. At pp, if you can hear yourself, you're too loud.

In ensembles, I always play one dynamic lower than marked, and if I'm near the brassholes, I use earplugs. I think about blending with the rest of the section. Even if I have a solo, I depend on resonance and center to be heard, not volume.
