Talk:International Trumpet Guild

Winter
Hello, We've now got this: "The 2010 ITG Conference took place in Sydney, Australia; it was the first in the Southern Hemisphere or in Winter (July is part of winter in the Southern Hemisphere)." I don't want to start a big fight but I'm not convinced we need that last bit. It is perhaps interesting/encyclopaedic/remarkable that the conference was in Oz for a change, but I am not sure that we then need to go on to point out that July's in the winter there. We haven't even elsewhere pointed out that it usually takes place at any particular time of year, in fact, so it's almost like that bit is setting up a tension with something unsaid, so it's unnecessary. And finally (sorry, I do go on a bit don't I) I am not sure that it is appropriate, in an article about a trumpet players' society, to have a digression on seasons and the Earth's tilt. If we went down that road there's a LOT more we could bring in like Jens Lindemann's Blackberry and the price of a cheesesteak in Harrisburg, but, with the best will in the world, I don't think it's called for.

 * OK, you can get rid of it. I just figured one of us ignorant Americans would ask how July is in winter. Get rid of it.  The Doomsday Machine!    (Blastoff!)  20:47, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
