Our orchestra doesn't allow cameras or tape recorders. I tried to get permission to shoot a dress rehearsal (no flash, quiet camera, I promise). They wouldn't even acknowledge the request. When I asked the choir director (who teaches at the same college where I work), he said that the request would have to go before a vote of the orchestra. No thanks. I didn't want the shot that badly.
