People have to realize that the BSO plays in two halls. They have a "second" home in Montgomery country, the weathest community in our country by millionaires. They go there almost every week and many twice a week. When I was in the orchestra we gave many concessions to allow that because it's a lot of travel time. I'd left my house at 5:15 to catch the bus and get home about midnight. I'd leave at 6:50 for our home concerts and be home befor 11:00. That was supposed to be the BSO savior, a new board there as well and support. Guess what, our management has not made it work, but the orchestra till goes there very often and the concerts are well attended, but not nearly enougn financial support. It's expensive to take the orchestra there, busses, trucks, stage hands, rental, programs etc. Who's paying the price, the BSO members. Managentment is being paid well with all benifits.
