Subject: Band with horns

I put up and ad a few years ago when I was between bands hoping to do something similar. Unfortunately, it didn't get much traction.
Horn players are pretty mercenary. They don't wanna be tied down to one band, and certainly don't want to practice. They wanna come in, have charts placed in front of them, and play, then get paid and leave.
There's also the problem of finding places that will pay enough to support a 9/10 piece band.
Good luck, but I think you'll find the days of the big horn bands have passed, with the exception of the occasional festival or specialty gig.
'round town, Hon!
