 Re: Drunk at Rehearsal???

Interesting...

I am kind of shocked at the responses... "If she gets the job done, all is well."

In all honesty, she played ok. I won't take that away from her. But there is the fact that, as principal, I think she should be setting some sort of example for all players under her. Does it change the fact that this is someone under the age of 21?

I think condoning this type of behavior in ANY level of performing is ridiculous. There have been threads here about beta-blockers, too, and, frankly, I am surprised that so many people are either apathetic or supportive of their use. Isn't it a sign of addiction when someone says they NEED a substance to perform daily tasks? I don't know about most of you, but to me this would include performing. If someone NEEDS drugs to perform, I am concerned about addiction.

What message are we sending to younger performers? Just as people condoned steriod use in baseball players and kids took that as a green light to use steriods, aren't we doing the same by condoning the use of drugs and alcohol for performing? Right here where I am, I hear of professors handing out beta-blockers like candy to students because they can't get their nerves under control to play. Nerves are part of performing- I think we all have them and all have to deal with them. The amount of people with true anxiety issues and truly in NEED of medication to function on stage is few - like with most medications in this society, we are overmedicating instead of dealing with the issues.
