Rule 1. The Conductor is ALWAYS right.
Rule 2. If the conductor is ever wrong, refer to rule 1.
People can be so god-damned pretentious in orchestras. Especially the conductor. I guess that's the nature of the beast, but I don't care anymore. An orchestra must work together to do anything, and the conductor uses that co-operation as his instrument. If that conductor's ego gets in the way, ever, the orchestra blocks him out, and he and the orchestra gets frustrated. Anybody who has ever worked in any group with a team leader knows this!
When I grow up and become a symphonic conductor, I'm going to change the way people see an orchestra. No longer will it be a bunch of snobs with attitudes who think they're high and mighty because they can play Beethoven, and we'll scrap the tuxedos. No wonder young people don't like orchestras...
Whatever. It doesn't matter anymore, I have to play, it's my duty to play, and I'll keep playing...Just don't expect me to like it.
I still don't have Guitar Hero, cause Ebgames is backordered, or something. So I wont be rocking out to Iron Man anytime soon, kinda disappointing. I did completely finish Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for my DS, in about 60 hours. Not bad for a Castlevania, and I'm happy with the game. The touch features get in the way though.
I guess that's it for today, I feel better now that I ranted about the demons of an orchestra.
