[Trombone-l] Cleveland Orch Trombone Article in newspaper

[Roger Hecht]

This is not all that rare these days. A lot of orchestras are running players in and out. The cynic in me has two observation.

1) Sometimes, like in a Chinese restaurant, the menu is too large for the diner's own good. 

2) Orchestras are getting quite a few players to play for quite a long time without having to pay them benefits.
