it's so horrible playing with chinese amateurs.
they think they're still professionals because they played in china, yet they didn't know the standard here is much higher.
and what i don't like about them is that they verbally criticize people both in their own section and other sections.
there's this chinese assistant principal who has no respect for anyone around him including towards the principal.
then u have the viola principal who couldn't play, as usual. so i'm doing most of the leading, playing, and editing.
i resorted to playing with my carbon fibre bow so idiots around me won't damage my good wooden bow.
the seconds are just completely lost most of the time.
the firsts are probably the only ones who kind of know what they're doing.
really strong bass section, because 4 out of 5 of them aren't chinese and they're professional players, with whom i normally play in other orchestras.
the winds and brass and percussion have a mix of semi-professionals and students.
2 weeks of hell playing in a chinese orchestra directed by a certain Mr. T.
