I After basic training, I spent about a year in the post band in Aberdeen, Md, which was musically a waste of time, although a lot better than most Army duty. Then a year in the 7th Army Symphony based in Stuttgart, which was great, and led to a number of lasting friendships. The orchestra had its ups and downs because of the constant rotation of people, but at its best it was pretty impressive, and many of its alumni went on to major symphonic jobs. For example, just considering the 33 or so horn players who played in the orchestra during its ten year lifetime, three later played in the NY Phil (one on associate first), one in the Symphony of the Air (principal)., one in the LA Phil (principal), one in Pittsburgh (principal), one in St. Louis, two in Kamsas City, three in New Orleans, one as extra in the Boston Symphony, one in the New York City Opera, and one in Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, and Minnesota. (I may have left out a couple). For more info on the orchestra, see http://7aso.org/.
