The > fact that most bands elect to enter contests answers the question. I agree with the entire text (not requoted) about Park playing - "the public" want marches, Selections, golden oldies etc etc and so do I. And whats more, not every bandsperson (yuch!) wants contesting either.

But as the Arabs say, all the fingers of the hand are not the same length - so each to his own...
