Unfortunately, it appears as though I've sparked a few old angry tempers in posting my want to find a summer festival. This was certainly never my intention.

Let me reassure those of you who view my actions as narrow or reckless that I have no intention of discriminating when it comes to auditioning; I'll take the job that gives me the money. But in getting there, I believe it is more important to associate myself with the orchestral field and repertoire. One of the most important elements of this is also working with STRING players, something that obviously doesn't happen in a band festival. To be the best, I believe it is imprtant to play with the best and I want to play with the best from all instrumental categories, not just winds and percussion. That said, my position concerning festivals is unaltered. Thank you all for your advice and opinions, but I will post no more concerning this thread.
