What I have seen today really disappoints me. Why can't you control yourself? Each time you stop playing, you talk. Aren't you tired of talking? Do you have that much crap to talk about?
You see the person in front holding the baton? Have you any respect for the conductor? Be it student conductor. Or whoever. If you don't give a damn about who is standing in front, at least respect the baton. The baton is an object that should be respected by all musicians.
It’s only a matter of time till the teachers, conductors or the leaders blow up. And that won’t be too far.
