Boring! Lack of Emotion!

You know, as a professional brass player, it's sad to hear premier military bands these days playing with zero emotion. Yes, it's true they play very accurately, but some of the best high schools in the country play accurately. My biggest complaint is they play too soft. Forte should be FORTE not mezzo piano! I think it's safe to say this is one of the many reasons why concert attendance for concert band and wind ensemble performances has dramatically declined, and military bands are on there way out! Play with conviction people! Nobody wants to hear safe, especially live!
