<><> Neanderthal coaches told him and several other boys that they
couldn't be in band and sports also and that band was for sissies
anyway.

Suggested strategy:

"Mr. Coach, I want my son to be physically fit. Is it true that
'good wind' is important in all type of athletics, or just in track and
field?"

"Harruumph! Of course it's important in every type of athletics!"

"Okay <you play an altissimo note> now I'm going to press the same
keys and I'd like to see if _you_ can blow hard enough to produce the
note ..... Oh dear, Mr. Coach, you don't appear to be in good
physical shape like I am. What's wrong with you?"
