I have observed in my brief time here at the SLSO that whenever students are given the opportunity to applaud the different sections of the orchestra at the close of education concerts, the percussion section always gets the bulk of the applause.
However, today, during both programs (9:30 and 11, both conducted and presented by Scott Parkman) the strings and harp got the biggest hands.
We could have the signs of a significant cultural shift in our midst.
