    I appreciate this convo. In Canada, we have struggled with celebrating our Canada day without acknowledging the atrocities to the indigenous communities. This year, my city allowed the indigenous communities to guide planning for Canada day based on respecting and honouring indigenous culture and history and it felt more authentic, and as Bob said, more patriotic to acknowledge more of the problematic nature of the country. It's not everything, but is a step in the right direction at least.

Monet is correct though, you do audition for the band since it's a small & competitive field.
