David,

I don't know the real answer but could it be that there is no paid gig for a 
conductor and if there was no volunteers to conduct then there would be no 
'big band of teenagers' either? A musical group of teenagers with a volunteer 
conductor is a lot better than no band at all or maybe you disagree?
