Ben, if you drop who will tell the poor woodwinds how to do that tricky
alternate fingering - C# to Eb to B - or how to trill high C to D? Who
will provide the leadership they need to become a wee bit closer to how
good they COULD be? Poor marchers, how would they get along without you?
And what suffering the jazz band would go through and how could you ever
put on a resume that you didn't get first chair?
Poor fellow! By all means find that big name teacher in NY. It will
make things all right for sure!
