Well, ummm, gee whiz! Does that make me a master of undressing! (Hmmm, that 
doesn't sound right. Nor does dressing down.) Or was it musical pointers?

In all seriousness, for the Instant Band, it was important that everyone feel 
comfortable and relaxed. If we had to worry about dress and deportment, as 
well as how well we would play after only 2 days rehearsal together, we would 
have been in big trouble. Being comfortable was right for that particular 
event.

On the other hand, I remember the very first competition Woods participated 
in. We wore our new band jackets and were very proud to do so. I think in that 
situation attention to deportment helped our playing;  we did not want to let 
our sponsor down and his name was on every jacket. We did ourselves, and 
Woods, proud.

...Hal

Just before I flew out to Red Wing to play in the Instant Brass Band at the
NABBA contest, Harold Floysvik sent out an email saying something like you
can wear what you like on stage, it's the music that counts. Maybe committee
members should ask Harold for a few pointers !
