Over the course of a teaching career, choral directors will have a student or two get sick on the day of the concert. This is a very frustrating occurrence. But, the interviewer wants to see if you can keep your head on straight to think clearly moving forward.

"I have had this happen before sadly. Luckily, I had another student prepare just in case. I am glad I did. I do this everytime now. Even if the back-up does not get to sing, they are working their way up to have a solo down the road."
