So the music program went through a big change this year.
Our previous band director who had been there for about 8 years or so left.
Most of us were very upset because this man had done so much for us.
However, the guy that took over, is the son of the music director previous to the one that just left, and alumni of the school, a close family friend of mine, and....closer to our age (he's 23ish).
He's made the transition so easy for all of us, and we look up to him a lot.
We go to him with a lot of our problems.
One day the particular issue was breaking up.

After giving some real advice, he jokingly wrote a list of how to break up with someone depending on the amount of time spent in the relationship.
The next day, while the AP music theory class was taking a quiz, he typed up the list and expanded upon it.
Thus began The Music Room Guide to Life.
Now everytime an issue comes up we are going to write guidelines to how situations should be handled: a mix between good advice and the sick humor that ultimately every real musician has (or at least in our band room).

I'll put up the first entry on break-ups eventually but I left my copy in the room.
