[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The students in the Amherst Symphony Orchestra really don't like their conductor. [/quote]

Please say more. That was not our impression when my visiting DC sat in.[/quote]
You generally shouldn't get any impression from a one day sit in on a rehearsal?[/quote]

Yet you won’t elaborate? Okay.[/quote]
I'm confused by your passive aggressive response, and what you expect to be elaborated on. In your day to day job, do you openly show who you dislike in your workplace? No, because you still have to work with those people and you put your big girl pants on and carry on. Orchestra is much the same. You have to keep face during rehearsal, because there is nothing productive about pi$$ing off your conductor.[/quote]

Still no details.[/quote]
On what? I asked you a clarifying question, maybe answer if you want an appropriate response. Thanks.[/quote]

NP. Talk about passive aggressive. I would suggest disregarding this person's post, OP, since it is nothing more than the vaguest hearsay.

I agree with a PP that watching available performances on-line is the way to go. Here is a recent Amherst one. Not at the level of Williams or Oberlin, for the reasons already stated, but certainly solid. A parent on another thread several months ago said the orchestra is quite large now, ~100 students I believe, and a nice social group. Sorry I don't remember which thread, or I would post it.

Yes, I am now being passive aggressive because that individual has refused to give clarifying detail on what she’s even asking about. I dislike parents like you who try to battle for ops attention and tell people to disregard others opinion, because you want to throw in your own perspective- let us all participate.

Apologies that me implying that you shouldn’t make assumptions on an orchestra based off of one day sitting in rehearsal, I guess we’re only a judgmental community here. It’s no different than advice that the tour guide shouldn’t be your entire reason for deciding to apply/reject a college.

I agree with the rest of your comment but don’t appreciate the unnecessary censoring[/quote]
