I really wished community bands/orchestras here play in the summer, for that's when people have the most free time! Plus it's more fun taking your oboe out to rehearsals when it doesn't feel like hell has frozen over. Most community groups (and classical music concerts) vanish as soon as school ends. :( Therefore, I'm just working on my own lesson repertoire and preparing for my first solo recital. Uh oh, what have I gotten myself into! If there were more activities in the summer for people just getting back into music, I think we'd be able to recruit more younger amateur players. Since our orchestra season starts in September, even though I do get a number of inquiries from college students wanting to play, by the time 1st rehearsal happens (mid-September) they are already innundated with homework that they don't even bother coming. If we caught them in the summer, then they might get hooked and make time for a bit of music once a week.
