Once again there's the rub. In NATS auditions, no money is involved in either
renting a hall or paying judges. We go to whatever school is nice enough to
invite us and take on the chore of hosting, and the teachers agree to judge
because we want our students to have the benefit of comments from our col-
leagues, and therefore, we must reciprocate. We don't mind doing it, but if
students realized what they are getting for so little cost, they might not
be so quick to complain that someone is not smiling at them when they sing!
