I think there are some mathematics and statistics behind different types of bands.
Swing bands. Travel miles to play at a dinner dance, where they have been told will play from 9-11 because the 4 course meal will be served real fast...and the speeches real short and only 49 raffle prizes. The band go on at 10.55.
Amateur concert bands. They pay to play.. With sub's and numerous rehearsals for one concert.
Brass bands. Play in all sorts of weather to a man on a bench and a stray dog and try and get as many tunes in as humanly possible.
Pit orchestras. All music teachers..who read technical books in the 600 bars rest before they play a quaver. Then back to book.
Karaoke singers. All have that vibrato you just love.
So anyway...example. Small tent ....10 musos. Drummer out in the elements... I rest my trombone case.
