I played the horn in 8th-9th grade band & symphony - Jr. High School, that is - can you possibly imagine my sucktitude on the instrument?   ;D

One thing I've noticed these days is that starts/entrances don't seem to correspond to the hand or wand movements of the conductor - sometimes the baton is moved 3-4 times before the players "respond" or begin.

Tell me the secret !!!!!   People in front of their 27" iMacs on a Saturday nite wanna know.
Saint-Saëns, who predicted to Charles Lecocq in 1901: 'That fellow Ravel seems to me to be destined for a serious future.'
