Chas I'm not into stupid politically correct BS I say it like I see it....American mixed nationalities or not is not the point. These people deserve all the accolades because they have chosen a musical path & are successful plain & simple.This is just one orchestra in one city, its the same all over.
As for the kids go to your local 24 hr diner at 3am & tell me what you see.
