Hello,

I am affraid I need to take issue with your comments about the VW. I know this is a little off thread, but shouldn't high school students have the same chances to play this great piece of music that you and I would have? As an educator, nothing bugs me more, than when I see bands playing Swearingen, RW Smith, and other composers that sound the same from piece to piece. I would reather hear a group attempting to perform work that is a little above them. The classics are too good to just listen to others perform. All students should have the opportunity to enjoy these great pieces of music.

Sean D.
