Well, I play what lands on my music stand; I play in a concert band and our repertoire consists of the usual marches and "easy listening" stuff in summer and more difficult to digest classical pieces in winter.

It is *very* difficult to steer a concert band into an even remotely "ethnic" piece. Notable exceptions comprise some local folk tunes and the lone halfway-close-to-klez piece so far. I'm still waiting for 7-40 to magically materialize on our stands. :-/

Unfortunately, as a family father with a completely unrelated daytime job I have no time to - seriously - join an ethnic ensemble, as much as I'd like to. So all I have is a collection of stuff to keep my fingers in shape.
