I judge music contests, both large group and solo and ensembles....a LOT! My specialty area is double reeds (oboe and bassoon) and most other woodwinds.
I was judging a full day of flutes (yes, they pay me well to listen to 60+ entries in one day) and one young lady brought me the score to her piece. I smiled and asked her if she had every been to WDW. She nodded but looked confused. I then asked if she had watched the show in the French pavillion. She thought, and then a smile spread on her face and she said, "I knew I had heard this before I started playing it, but I couldn't remember where! That's it!"
She will always remember that the French Pavillion show begins with a solo flute playing the opening strains of her solo by Debussy! Cool!
I dared my girlfriend that when we go in Sept she has to try to identify the composer since she is a flutist. A glass of wine is riding on it! LOL
