Re: Grrrrrrrrrr- My Pet Peeve!

Last night was the second rehearsal with full ORch.
Someone had changed an 8 measure rest to 6. I came in 2 measures early and mantained it to the end. I erased the pencil. The conductor forgave me.

I loaned the trombone player a pencil. He marked his music as expected and I informed him that he has to erase it after the last show. He said, "no I don't." I said, "yes you will."

Some things are not taught in high school orchestra. I will teach it.

Incidentally, none of the adults, except me, had practiced their parts. It was such a poor example I had to restrain myself.
