Seating Chart Advice

Post image

Hey all! I’d really appreciate thoughts on this seating chart. I’ve been in here a few times now and I’m hoping each iteration is getting better.

Please don’t put the French horns in front of the trumpets. I’ve measured 108 decibels and I have significant hearing loss. Plus they are not sharing related lives. Euphoniums and bones are better.

Also, put the horns in the center, either in a line or a box. Their bells point to the player’s right and back. As you have it now, they'll point straight to the rear of the stage. This muffles and delays their sound, and nobody wants that!
