Among those complying was Tim Day, 21, a flautist from York, who'd already been rehearsing for Vk hours. And more was in store. Cod Numbs Him Ivana Loudova's big, brassy "Chorale" and a medley of down-home, toe-tappin' gospel tunes were over and the group was almost finished with Bach's beloved "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." "Alright, knock off for lunch. And be at your chamber rehearsals at 1," said Boudreau.

He's outnumbered three-to-one on the barge. At the small, red brick First Baptist Church, Tim was joined by a bassoonist, clarinetist, oboist and horn player for their chamber rehearsal. Their selection, Reicha's Quintet in B-Flat, would be presented that evening at the home of Tim's hosts, Mr.

and Mrs. Alex Sadulski of Harrison Twp. Driven from the social hall by a loud brass group, the five played in the church kitchen, getting downbeats by watching each other and breathing a bit louder than normal. "Is this trill necessary?"

"I enjoy playing for people who ordinarily don't get to hear an orchestra concert," the Oberlin College senior said over a hot lunch in a dairy store. He'll get his chance to do just that this summer as the barge cruises the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, the players entertaining folks in many small communities "I started playing the flute when I was 9," Tim said. "My mother always wanted me to play it because she thought the piccolo players on "Stars and Stripes Forever" were the world's greatest musicians.

He Didn't Quit Fute "She told me, 'You can quit when you learn that I learned it in sixth grade and played it at a school program, but by then I didn't want to quit." And he certainly doesn't now. "One of the fringe benefits of playing the flute is that there are very few male flautists," Imagination or are we not at the tempo we started at?" "I finished before everyone else." "Ssshh." Self-criticism revealing and beneficial. And for a non-musical and non-churchy break, Tim, an admitted Frisbee freak, and his pals sailed his hot pink platter around the social hall. Concert In Basement The Sadulskis have hosted Wind Symphony players for five years. This year, six were staying with them, and late Friday afternoon was welcome free time.

Tim lounged in their living room, played a few numbers with Sherry Sadulski, 15, also a flautist, shot a couple games of bumper pool with a trombonist and finally slipped away by himself for some needed shuteye. After a dinner of fried chicken, green beans, salad, rolls and ice cream a treat after a year of dormitory the other four members of Tim's quintet arrived and they began their "backyard" concert. It was In Sadulskis' basement game-room this year because the soggy ground would have sucked up the legs of lawn chairs. In previous years, good evenings had attracted as many as 100 neighbors to Sadulskis', but only a handful came this year. Tim's group started with a minuet, and ss JJ he often had the melody.

"The most expressive of the five musicians, Tim bobbed his head and swayed his torso toward his music stand on significant passages, particularly crescendos. The Sadulskis' neighbors applauded warmly. "I really enjoy playing for people who are enjoying the music," said Tim. "It's particularly gratifying." Rehearse For Point Program Out of the coat and tie required for the backyard concert and back into jeans and sandals, Tim returned to the barge for a full evening rehearsal. Tomorrow's concert was fast approaching and next week the entourage would travel to Sewickley for a period of residence before its first Pittsburgh concert the next Sunday.

Buffets Stop Him "The only thing that stopped me that day was that the suspect began firing at me. "But do you know that most of the calls I've had concerning the recent bank holdup were complimentary. And a lot of people agreed with what I did. "I caught heck at home, and promised my wife I wouldn't do such a thing again, "But as I think it over, I probably would," he added.

It's 'Right Or Wrong' "Well, I have a strong sense of right or wrong, and it bothered me to see someone do something like that. I've always taught my children what is right and what is wrong and you should practice what you preach.

And his a 1 1 are as firm as his beliefs. It all started on a chilly day several weeks ago when Vogel the owner of a downtown restaurant was in a bank making a daily deposit. It was late in the afternoon, and Vogel and another person attired in blue jeans, jacket and wearing a large floppy hat were the only customers.

'I've Been Robbeo" As the restaurateur turned to chat with the head teller, a woman teller dashed from behind her counter shouting that she had just been robbed. Everyone turned to her in apparent disbelief. She reiterated that she had just been robbed, adding: "Damn it. I've been robbed!" Vogel started after the wearer of the floppy hat that the teller said was the holdup man. His only thought as he went through the bank's side door was to follow the suspect and get enough of a description for the police.

He could see, as he followed close behind, that the big hat was covering the suspect's face. The suspect became aware of being followed and broke into a run. As he followed, Vogel's thoughts switched to grabbing the suspect and pinning his arms before he could go for a weapon.

According to Vogel, not one person who was witnessing the action offered to give him a haud.

When the suspect was thrust Into a chair and the stolen money recovered, Vogel was as surprised as the bank staff to find their suspect was a young woman. "When I went after the suspect I never realized it was a woman. She was tall and slender and wore men's clothing. And the hat covered her hair and face," Vogel said. Vogel's story is unusual in that in this day it's fashionable "not to get involved." And little did he realize that day that many people he knew would brand him "stupid."
