Concerts on the Lawn

Several music students—friends of mine-have recently formed a new jazz band. I'd like to recommend that the university invite this jazz band to play some free concerts on campus. These concerts could take place in the afternoon: students would enjoy hearing live music while they relax between classes and other afternoon activities. And a perfect location for the concerts would be the open lawn area near the student center. Many students are in this area during the day, and the lawn has recently been improved; it's now a nice area where students can sit and enjoy the music.
Sincerely,
Tim Sutcliffe

Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
What did you think of Tim's letter?
I don't know. It's a nice idea, but I don't think he's thought it through.
I mean, he's not thinking about the problems it'll create.
Like what?
Well, like, first of all, I don't think that's really the best time of day to do it.
Really?
Yeah. A lot of student don't have time to just sit around and relax. They're studying and reading, getting stuff done for their classes.
So it'd be really distracting with loud music playing in the background.
Huh? Yeah, I guess that's true.
Maybe in the evenings, it'd be good. A good way to help people relax after a long day of studying.
Right. That might make more sense.
Also, I think it ought to be indoors somewhere.
That area around the student center looks really nice now, but that would change fast if a bunch of students started hanging out there a lot.
Really? You think so?
Sure. Because, think about it. The audience is going to be walking all over it.
Normally there aren't a lot of people on the lawn, but when you've got a crowd like that gathered for a show, well, the grass gets trampled and it dies.
Eventually the area would turn to mud.
