after mulling things over and looking. More looking. Pondering and then a critique from my husband (who is not an artist but has a really good eye for art), I decided I needed to change the background.  It just wasn’t working and would definitely not work with the flute and horn players. so now they will appear as it they are about to make a bit announcement.  I have only just started making this adjustment as you would think this will entails some adjustment of the drummer figure as well as the background.  So far I have only worked on the background.  Think this is going to work!
