Bstutman,

My former saxophone teacher is a recording artist and top call freelancer, he knows a great deal about "the real world."

My comment was in no way meant to diminish the intellect of these students. I'm sure everyone knows that students involved in music education score higher on standardized tests than those that are not. Furthermore, I completely agree with you about musical excellence being achieved without spoon feeding.

Unfortunately spoon feeding and a lack of artistry is very common in some Texas bands. I know of one collegiate level band director that approaches interpretation by listening to a recording of the Chicago Symphony with a metronome and duplicating every tempo. This is only one example of the artistry (or lack thereof) of some Texas band directors.
