I figured I'd put Versatility III through its paces. I am going for maximum usability so the Control Panel and drop-down menus are disabled.
There is still some weirdness I need to work on, like a stray line next to the first two menu items on FF, missing gallery titles in RS Gallery 2 and maybe adjusting some fonts.
Nice site,
I would just comment that you may try reducing the text size, it's just too big (or maybe it's just me). Granted your demographic may be a bit visually challenged either by age or by staring at sheet music too much!

A large portion of our audience is senior citizens - they just love band music and we are happy to have them. I tried to find a font size that was not ridiculously large but also gave maximum readability. I settled on 15px.
BTW, if you have not checked out your websites on one of the newer high-res widescreen displays, it might surprise you. Fonts that seem big on a 1024x768 screen are almost too small to read on a Dell laptop running at 1900x1200! Specifying font sizes in pixels can be very inflexible in these changing times... unfortunately, specifying in points or ems has drawbacks as well. - Lovebird Design

David,
Aha! I got your demographic down! Sweet.
I understand where you're coming from on website sizes. Remember the days when you designed websites for 800x600 or 1024x768 and they looked consistent on 90% of monitors!? Those were the days.
