 Re: Discussion of "one-up'ing" at Clarinetfest

Back in high school, the period when everybody found their seats and tuned up before "Battle of the Bands" festivals (which included orchestras) degenerated into one-up-fests unless the MC cracked down and threatened to disqualify anybody who played while another group tuned.

I hated playing in public, and never had the nerve to try to one-up anyone because I was sure I'd let out some Giant Rat of Sumatra squeak that I'd never be able to pretend was altissimo. But I do enjoy listening to people who play brilliantly show off, as long as fifteen of them aren't all doing it at once and making everyone's ears bleed. I've learned a few new tricks by observing people who played better than I did and asking them questions.
