It definitely depends upon the quality of the band & how you perform there. Dennis Brain was definitely in the Air Force Concert Band - a big difference. And British is British also (tradition). And he joined the band, when he was a soloist already. Another difference. ===========================================================

Dennis Brain, Alan Civil, Norman Del Mar, Derek Taylor, James Brown, Frank Lloyd, David Lloyd, Tony Randall, Denzil Floyd, to name just a few. All became members of first rate orchestras, maybe it is a difference in approach. I was always told by my teachers you could use any situation to improve, if you really wanted to!
