Although, she did say she has vivid memories of you sitting in the far back corner of class snoozing... :) Now.... I couldn't even imagine you doing such a thing -especially since I've never done anything like that -EVER! ;) There is such a tremendous heritage of concert band music available... because our students are everchanging, there is no reason not to bring some of the classics (war-horses) back (every year) as they are always new to the students... Nothing wrong with having the new and old mixed together! I try to do this all the time, in particular with the Jazz Band Literature. Cheers, J. Pisano -mustech.net Travis,
