I suppose no field is entirely free of bullshit scholarship, lol. and half the fun is reading the lunatic stuff anyway.

I have put way too much thought into this. Roger is the concertmaster, of course. Maria is first oboe and Ana is first flute and Novak is ~breaking orchestra boundaries~ by having friends in the wind section. Mandy and Juan Martin are bassists (Juan Martin got promoted to principal over Andy except then he got tendinitis and had to take the semester off but Andy is still bitter about it), all the Spaniards are in Rafa's section and Flavia is his stand partner. I think the Williams sisters are vocalists. and Adam Helfant is the new conductor. maybe Caro can be principal second violin! oh self. (of course Rafa will be subtly courting Novak by asking to play duets all the time and Novak is confused because there's basically no music for cello-viola duet and also he thought Rafa was playing duets with Roger if you know what I mean and I think you do. I do feel a little bad about stealing the basic plot of the officeverse from you, though.)
