| I think that some things that should be considered that TB88 might be missing are the visions and goals of the band director. It's been studied and documented that people tend to burn out in the jobs and get restless after a number of years and that has to be considered. The director might simply be trying to retain his own sanity and keep his own restlessness at bay by trying to do something completely different than anything he had done before to challenge himself as well as the kids. Besides, change is necessary for growth as a musician.
If this band is as good as TB88 says, then the director must know his business, which is probably why TB88 is questioning it so much because it's such a radical departure from the past successful status quo, however, once again I have to stress the idea that since he's going to be leaving the program and school completely at the end of this school year, it's simply not worth worrying about - let others who have a greater stake in the matter worry about it.
