<p>The band director called today and was actually very sympathetic and suggested switching ds to the baritone. He said it makes sense because he plays the bass, and it’s a lot less pressure on his mouth. DS tried it today and seems sold on the idea, so I think this will work. Also band director really pumped him up and was very complimentary because I think he didn’t want to lose his bass player and realized maybe that he’d been too negative lately. It’s a happy ending because I want him to at least give high school band a try, and this way he’ll get to do that.</p>
<p>Thanks all!</p>
