Back in 1976, trumpet player Maynard Ferguson held a clinic on the stage of the E.J. Thomas Hall at the University of Akron. The clinic was in the afternoon, while he performed that evening with his band. During the clinic, he played a few notes on his trumpet without a microphone. His sound really was as big as it appeared during a performance and on his albums.
As a member of the University of Akron symphonic band in 1975, I got to perform at E.J. Thomas Hall. I found it difficult to hear the rest of the band over my own instrument, alto saxophone. Years later, acoustic changes were made in the Hall. Turns out, I was not the only one with that complaint.
