I was a percussion major when I was in university, and during a particular rehearsal of the student orchestra, my section kept getting things worse.“When you’re too dumb to play anything,” the professor conducting us sneered, “they give you a couple of sticks, put you in the back and call you a percussionist.”"A friend next to me whispered, “And if you’re too dumb to hang on to both sticks, they put you in front and call you a conductor.”
