[QUOTE=viperfan7;34186933]please, go to a live orchestra some day when your older, say, 16 or 17 years old, maybe then you'll understand, thats what, 4 years away?[/QUOTE]
I am 16 you retard. I'm not a big enough fan of orchestra music to go pay and visit one.

Nice response. Really though, why are you commenting on an article you just admitted you don't understand? If you aren't a fan of orchestral music I sure as hell won't hold that against you, but don't act like an authority on the subject.
A composer is, in a very real sense, an artist. Having a work of art interrupted is a slap in the face.

Then act with some maturity, what I said wasn't insulting in any way, and here you are calling me a retard.
[QUOTE=PolarEventide;34187149]Every year, my middle school band and the chorus go to a performance either by the Hartford Symphony Orchestra - in Hartford, CT - or the Springfield Symphony Orchestra - in Springfield, MA. Every single fucking year, there's some douchy class of second graders, or some adults with no common sense sitting behind our group yacking away. People don't really seem to understand how moving an orchestra performance can be, and how ruined it can become when a sound besides that of the violins strings vibrating, air moving through and over parts of woodwind instruments, trumpets blaring, and drums beating, can be heard.
That being said, I think the conductor did very little compared to what he could have done, and I applaud him for keeping himself composed and in a civilized manner waiting for the man to turn off his phone, and then apologizing to the audience.
Just a little insight from everyone's favorite thirteen-year-old.[/QUOTE]
Douchy class of second graders? I'm sorry but they're only 7, how can they be considered douchy?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the teachers with the class were also talking, and when the Band Director at my middle school asked them to stop, they told their kids to keep talking.

Probably not on purpose, but they would not realize the sanctity of the event they are going to and would act normal, children tend to do such.
people that disagree with the conductor's actions are as big of a prat as the person with the phone.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34172909]well how would you feel
you're the guy in charge and people have paid good money for you to do your job properly, and some prat decides to fuck it up for everyone[/QUOTE]
Not only that but most orchestras are also very underpaid now.
