RE: problem with teacher

The director has done this for every concert that the symphonic winds (the upper band) has had (and that I've been there for), but does not do it for the concert band.
It has not bothered me to have the people there for regular concerts, but this festival is to promote the school and get more music students to come.
To me it is false advertising. I believe that WE the college band should be there and not doctoral students from our neighboring music conservatory. These people have already proven themselves, and everyone knows they can play!

Maybe the problem is that what the director said makes me feel as if I am not good enough to promote the band on my own. And if it were just me who felt like this, I would understand that I needed to start practicing more or even that I may need to rethink my career choice.
But if an entire ensemble isn't good enough to promote themselves, maybe we shouldn't be going to this festival just yet. We are a young college and have grown rapidly.
I just think that what she said was rude and completely inconsiderate. (sp??) And now that I'd done complaining......
