bandman will become famous soon enough
You know Lou, I always knew that age had its advantages, and I know that as an old guy I really don't need to worry as much about this problem as much as the young guys.

Cornet guy is in band methods class so he is probably young and good looking (like I was a lonnnnnngggg time ago). Young band directors have a whole set of problems that us older guys have on a lesser level. I just wanted to make him think about how to go about trying to fix this problem. He said the student is a she and this brings about a whole set of parameters that need to be observed.

Oh what a strange world we live in today -- we want to get close to our students, but we need to be careful and think about teacher-student relationships at all times. The key is to always act like a professional. Always treat your students in the way you would want your own child's teacher to treat them.
