Mr. McNeil,

Your closing statement: “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all” suggests that our community “should not” question authority of the SCFD board that oversees distribution of $40 million annually in public funds. Your readers should also know that Peter Drucker, author of your statement, also wrote “QUESTION AUTHORITY The Five Most Important Questions You Will Ever Ask About Your Organization.” I recommend that you read Drucker’s book, and also recommend that you start quoting authors when you use their material in the future.

I posted an announcement and commentary on March 22nd entitled: Please attend SCFD’s public meeting on March 24, 2011. My hope was to let our community of professional musicians know that our industry is again in jeopardy because of irresponsible decisions of the SCFD board and administrators. Apparently my announcement was successful, as measured by the fact that all remaining chairs in the meeting room were taken by very concerned musicians. Most were members of the Colorado Chamber Orchestra (CCO).
