Re: Musical apathy after "tenure"

Of course the military band program is its own animal.

You refer to a problem that occurs also from the very nature of the system set up in the military (non special bands I must emphasize). As you accrue more time, you (should) gain more rank. As you gain more rank you are expected (MUST) assume more leadership and administrative functions. Rather than people getting lazy (although I suspect there are a percentage that never gave a damn about their axe in the first place) what you see in most of those cases are the ones who ARE doing their "job," and not finding as much time to practice simply because there are only so many hours in a day.

Of course, there are those of us who ALWAYS make music the priority.

We will discuss this more five years from now.
