    I play euphonium in the Chester Brass Band (Nova Scotia, Canada). 
We came third in our level at the North American Brass Band 
Competition last April.  My question is this: the regulations state 
that you can only have (guess, here) about 40 players in the band.  
The winning team had about 80, yet only 35-40 played at any one given 
time: i.e. the band would play a number, then about 70% of them would 
leave and some "fresh lips" would come on the stage...given the time 
resraints, I suppose they should have won a medal just for that...:) 
    My question is, although legal according to the regulations, is 
it really fair????
