Great observation. I try to get to the PMEA conference each year (it's in Hershey, PA in April this year) and for most of the conference it isn't so bad as the exhibit halls are usually pretty large, but the day we let all the All-State kids in to check things out-WOW! Lots of "I can play higher & louder than you". Of course there are kids trying the horns with more technical playing as well. At least they're getting the chance to get their hands on some different horns that probably play better than that which they are used to. It can give them something to work for!
