Ok, here comes a real serious question from me - and I mean it.

Are there ever circumstances when a student at a university who is majoring
in music should be allowed to elect an ensemble to satisfy their ensemble
requirement for which they do not participate in the ensemble on their
major instrument?

A typical example might be: should a flute student who did not make the
bands or orchestra, either because there are too many flute players that
semester or because the student was not at the correct level of playing, be
allowed to take choir for their required ensemble?

Assume that there are no attitudinal problems and that the student does not
have a learning disability.

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
