Episode 476: Acoustic Spaces

It may have grabbed my attention when I first got a chance to experience what playing in a large band was like. The sound is big, loud at times, but while the volume varies, other things are happening too. Sure, the school's band room was a good place to learn but hearing the same music in a better acoustic setting is a game changer. School gyms, and auditoria were a performer’s journey with interesting churches along the way. Along the journey I discovered that the environment had a profound effect on all of the people present.
