Re: Playing in an orchestral style

I found band to be counterproductive to creating that sound in a different way. I was playing ppp the part is marked f or ff and the (insert your own adjective here) director would be yelling at me you're too loud. I found myself having to suck on the horn and having tone production problems that way as a result of playing in bands (the director misread the Macbeth book) to the point that I don't play in bands or wind ensembles anymore.
