I was assuming you'd want to make a conservative estimate of people's playing abilities.

Yes, I do-- and I'm getting a much better feel, now, for how to approach the various brass and wind players we might have an opportunity to work with. They range in ability and experience, and I think I know now how to go about a conversation with them. If any of them are musically adventuresome, it should be fun and if they aren't, I'll understand now what their reticence is about.
