Oh yeah, we used to do the same thing-- the school would buy one set of sheet music with X number of parts and if we needed extra copies, we'd just Xerox. But to deny new music period? Just blows my mind. I mean, my junior high and high school were basically middle class and we still managed to get new music every year. My kids' schools are in a solidly upper middle class district and we spend more than my mother ever did just on "basics."

Yeah. I hated when we only had music for E Flat French horns, when all of us played French horns in F. I hated having to transcribe in my head as I played.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok - I think we need to do another former-French Horn player roll call. There are a lot more of us than I remember.
Me!
