[NAGDU] Wind Ensemble

[Cindy Ray]

OOOOO! I would need muffs to listen to a bagpipe band, but it just must be
amazing to play them. I like them if they are a distance away from me. I
went to a funeral where they were used outside and then at the back of the
sanctuary at the end I think it was. Certainly in those situations my dog
was good with it; not sure about close proximity.

One of my TSE classmates plays trumpet, solo and in an ensemble.  She got
the mutt muffs for her dog when she noticed he was being upset by the
trumpet.  She says they've worked well.

I used to play in a bagpipe band, many years ago, before all these
new-fangled things came out for dogs.  It was loud, but my dogs never seemed
to mind.  So you never know.

Hello, All:

I am considering playing in a wind ensemble this summer.  This is not
something I do often and never since I acquired my guide dog.  
She is used to being with me during performances, but, as a singer, I am not
in the center of the orchestra, with loud instruments on all sides.  If I
have Demi with me for the wind ensemble gig, she will be under my chair, and
I will be sitting in the center of the flute section, very close to the
brass and percussion sections.  Is this advisable? Should I use some sort of
ear protection for Demi?

Thank you, and have a great evening!

Rachel
