I tend to agree with you. I'd rather people would go and enjoy. Our
community symphony had a hit the other day by including local kids doing
ethnic dancing to some Scottish pieces and bagpipers pipe and drum corps
marching in. Audience went wild! Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony was on
the first half and they patiently waited through it for the "good stuff."
They had a singalong of old favorite Scots tunes (it's an Scots area of the
country). We had Pakistani, African American, Viennese, Pilipinas, etc.,
all of whom were Scots for the evening. Then they had food afterwards and
the kids got to talk to the pipers in regalia. Joyce
