Re: [Harp-L] Iceman's Student - RJ



Two years ago, RJ was just beginning jazz band that semester as one of the trumpet section, basically just reading parts and playing in the ensemble.
 
At the same time, he wanted to audition for a school talent show that semester playing a solo version of "Star Spangled Banner" on the harmonica. 
 
It was here that he had to fight an uphill battle to be allowed to audition. 
 
Once the music teacher heard how he could play, he was asked to take an important role in the school jazz band as a soloist out front. 
 
RJ was not trying to convince the jazz band of anything.

What I don't get is:. 
it seems as if you are implying that RJ had to work his way into the jazz band on harmoniuca. It looks like he was IN the jazz band and had to convince them to LET him play harp solos:
