(112,445 posts)sometimes it helps to receive a few opinions before releasing the posters. I imagine that some of the personnel at the base were scared that their spouses or officers ahead of them might take notice by attending the musical.
I also preferred the same keys as you did. Keys with sharps in them are supposed to be oriented for the strings sections for some reason although I don't completely understand why. After nearly 12 years of playing the trumpet I finally took the music theory course for non-music majors during my last semester of college. It was sort of amusing since I could usually finish my homework assignments in 15 to 30 minutes. I was the only student in the class that also had an extensive background in music, math and physics so I was able to understand concepts like dissonance and the cyclic patterns of keys and key signatures better than most of the class. The rest of the class wondered why I was there, but I needed 3 hours of classroom fine arts to go along with at 3 hours of performance fine arts so I saw the class as being the easiest chance to get a good grade.
