I do not believe in bashing band directors either, but I can understand where this young lady is coming from. Only one man I have ever been conducted by could play tuba competently, and a surprising amount of directors I have had struggled to read bass clef. My current band director, who is an amazing musician, can provide next-to-zero tuba related guidance. I always listen to him about musicality, technicality, etc., but it is a fact that some band directors just don't do some instruments. Low brass directors are few and far between, I guess.
