Dr. de Silva: either in your last posting, you were entirely honest (the
less likely option), or you laid on the sarcasm pretty darn thick.  I'll
assume it was the latter, and defend myself...

>And at half time, you don't want to hear CM.

On the contrary, every major school in my city (and the state, I think),
plays some sort of CM (whether it be light CM or not), as I said in my last
letter on the subject.

If you are honest, get a grip on yourself, that's not very feasible.  If
you're being sarcastic, well, you totally misunderstood my posting.  First
of all, shouldn't the public music programs have, as part of their goal,
music appreciation? I sure think so.  I never suggested going through some
overblown process that would never work anyway.  I hope something was
cleared up.
