| Ten Things Your Conductor Will NEVER Say:
1. Gee, that's a boring hymn. Let's play another one 2. Well played, everyone. Let's go home early. 3. I wasn't much of a player, myself. 4. Nicely played, trombones. So tuneful. 5. If you can't play it, don't worry about it. 6. What do you think? 7. I never wanted to be a conductor. I wanted to be a lumberjack. 8. Of course you can miss rehearsals. We're so fortunate that you choose to play with us. 9. Sorry, I lied. We have absolutely no chance of winning anything - ever! 10. I was wrong. |
