...naturally expected a good job. Besides being an outstanding student of composition in the department of music, he has concertmaster of the Bach Society Orchestra since his senior year in high school.

...wrong is to call a churchman "reverend" -which is an adjective rather than a noun, and is likely to bring a shudder from even the kindliest clergyman when used as a title in direct address.

Gurney, a war hero and former mayor of Winter Park claims that Kennedy's decision to blockade "was forced upon him by the leaders...

Layton apparently did his work with the orchestra before the concert.
