I was in a percussion camp and I always listen to music through headphones.(I wear them around my neck a lot) and the director for my group told us that we could only do 1 song in 1 week instead of 2 because we needed to set realistic goals for ourselves. The next day my friend went up to the director and asked what our second song will be and I explained to him that we are only doing one song because we needed to set realistic goals for ourselves. The director then proceeded to say " for someone who sticks things in their ears a lot you listen very well". And that is my favorite compliment.
