a reluctant PNM faces the music

Yeah, I'm sure the OP realized that the girls who may have gone to Violin first and Piano later may have thought the same bad things about Piano. That's the bad thing about not using completely original material.

I guess that's why it surprises this outsider a little. If people with some recruitment experience know that the same poem tends to get used in many chapters, why risk that your PNM will hear it somewhere else and, at the least, do a double take? Why not have something that's yours? I can see liking to mix it up some from year to year, but there's something to be said for tradition, too.

/butting my curious nose out of things not my business to start with.


ETA: Congrats to you and Kappa, facethemusic. This music nerd who is married to a Kappa is happy for you!

No idea. This has been passed around so much that I knew which poem it was without knowing anything about the OP's school. I see why it is very attractive to PNM's, but surely there is another way to capture these sentiments.
