What a cute story and great advice from Alfred. So often we try the 'sting like a bee' approach when a floating butterfly can often accomplish so much more. Kudos to Joey.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote a series of short stories about a music teacher in a midwestern school (based on one he had growing up in Indiana). One of the stories is set at a regional marching band competition, and it gives off the impression that band directors strut around like peacocks in their pseudo-military uniforms while their students exist only as their pawns (although Vonnegut's teacher is considerably more interested in his students' welfare, it should be said).
