<bold>Ok, I agree with that, 

but my experience is that the most comments don't say anything about 
percussion. Except that it's too loud, but we're always too loud, so they 
don't have to mention that...

OMHO, Adjucators could give (much) more attention to the percussion 
section; they are also a important part of the band. 

In the Netherlands there is also a discussion about comments of 
adjucators. It's about that adjucators sometimes only say that the band 
can't play the piece.

Do adjucators give enough comments??

(Sorry, for my bold letters, but I couldn't get them black!)
