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.
