My Orchestra Teachers Were Too Mean for This

With the exception of one Mrs. Hinze. She used to parade up and down the auditorium's aisles ordering us to "...imagine a massive, and I mean fat Russian queen and her entourage parading down the streets!" I'd like to think she would have allowed us to play the Truth and Reconciliation Suite, had it existed in 19uhhh nevermind that part.

That being said, I think it's pretty damned cool that there are some teachers/conductors out there, today, with minds sufficiently open to allow music from Halo to be played at their performances. Particularly considering the choice was suggested by a gasp student. Most of my instructors were miersable primadonnas who consistently failed to meet the standards of our local symphony and projected their frustration upon us.

So, here's to the students and to the teachers giving geeks more and more credibility by the day!



I originally found this information, today, on HBO:
