  [01:01.39LIZZIE: So how are you getting on with your teaching practice at the High School, Joe?

  [01:06.16JOE: Well I've been put in charge of the school marching band, and it's quite a responsibility.

  [01:11.81I'd like to talk it over with you.

  [01:14.05LIZZIE: Go ahead.

  [01:15.28You'd better start by giving me a bit of background.

  [01:18.12JOE: OK.

  [01:19.39Well the band has students in it from all years, so they're aged 11 to 18, and there are about 50 of them altogether.

  [01:29.13It's quite a popular activity within the school.

  [01:32.50I've never worked with a band of more than 20 before, and this is very different.

  [01:36.87LIZZIE: I can imagine.

  [01:38.39JOE: They aren't really good enough to enter national band competitions, but they're in a regional one later in the term.

  [01:46.05Even if they don't win, and I don't expect them to, hopefully it'll be an incentive for them to try and improve.

  [01:53.06LIZZIE: Yes, hopefully.

  [01:54.96JOE: Well, now the town council's organising a carnival in the summer, and the band has been asked to perform.

  [02:03.03If you ask me, they aren't really up to it yet, and I need to get them functioning better as a band, and in a very short time.

  [02:10.96LIZZIE: Have you been doing anything with them?

  [02:13.40Apart from practising the music, I mean.

  [02:15.85JOE: I played a recording I came across, of a drummer talking about how playing in a band had changed his life.

  [02:22.90I think it was an after-dinner speech.

  [02:25.48I thought it was pretty inspiring, because being in the band had stopped him from getting involved in crime.

  [02:32.07The students seemed to find it interesting, too.

  [02:34.40LIZZIE: That's good.

  [02:35.87JOE: I'm planning to show them that old film from the 1940s 'Strike Up the Band', and talk about it with the students.

  [02:43.26What do you think?

  [02:44.31LIZZIE: Good idea.

  [02:45.60As it's about a school band, it might make the students realise how much they can achieve if they work together.

  [02:52.72JOE: That's what I've got in mind.

  [02:54.38I'm hoping I can take some of the band to a parade that's going to take place next month.

  [03:00.71A couple of marching bands will be performing, and the atmosphere should be quite exciting.

  [03:05.47It depends on whether I can persuade the school to hire a coach or two to take us there.

  [03:10.35LIZZIE: Mmm.

  [03:11.28They sound like good ideas to me.

  [03:13.34JOE: Thanks.

  [03:52.22JOE: Can I tell you about a few people in the band who I'm finding it quite difficult to cope with?

  [03:57.38I'm sure you'll have some ideas about what I can do.

  [04:00.58LIZZIE: Go ahead.

  [04:02.02JOE: There's a flautist who says she loves playing in the band.

  [04:06.26We rehearse twice a week after school, but she's hardly ever there.

  [04:10.97Then she looks for me the next day and gives me a very plausible reason - she says she had to help her mother, or she's been ill, but to be honest, I don't believe her.

  [04:22.15LIZZIE: Oh dear!

  [04:23.84Any more students with difficulties?

  [04:26.38JOE: Plenty!

  [04:27.82There's a trumpeter who thinks she's the best musician in the band, though she certainly isn't.

  [04:34.20She's always saying what she thinks other people should do, which makes my job pretty difficult.

  [04:39.50LIZZIE: She sounds a bit of a nightmare!

  [04:41.52JOE: You can say that again.

  [04:43.38One of the trombonists has got an impressive sense of rhythm, and could be an excellent musician - except that he has breathing difficulties, and he doesn't really have enough breath for the trombone.

  [04:55.47He'd be much better off playing percussion, for instance, but he refuses to give up.

  [05:00.35So he ends up only playing half the notes.

  [05:03.16LIZZIE: I suppose you have to admire his determination.

  [05:06.41JOE: Hmm, maybe.

  [05:08.02One of the percussionists isn't too bad, but he never seems to interact with other people, and he always rushes off as soon as the rehearsal ends.

  [05:17.10I don't know if there are family reasons, or what.

  [05:20.04But it isn't good in a band, where people really need to feel they're part of a group.

  [05:25.72LIZZIE: Hmm.

  [05:26.91JOE: There are others too, but at least that gives you an idea of what l'm up against.

  [05:32.33Do you have any thoughts about what I can do, Lizzie?
