Chris,
My problem is time and "money." Since I have retired from the government, I have new musical expenses and some performing dates around the Springfield/Dayton met area with the Hyland Ensemble. I am working with The Miami Valley Harmonica Orchestra, and I hope to bring the orchestra to the Columbus for the next harmonica convention. I think the crowd will like to hear some of our new ensemble arrangements. I am proud to say that the ensemble harmonica players are reading very well from the musical scores, and they are becoming very diciplined in playing parts in ensemble. When other clubs see how well the orchestra does with part-playing from the musical score, I am sure they will appreciate just how much work goes into preparing a harmonica ensemble to play complex arrangements and high quality music. I hope our orchestra will set the example for other harmonica club orchestras to follow.
