 be curious, not judgmental
Becca was THRILLED that Professor Lawson made the final decision to have both a DJ and live music. Then her hand shot up. "Professor, since we're interested in having a large array of music genres... how about some jazz stylings by the great Becca Parker on sax? You KNOW it'd be super awesome - you must've heard me over the years playing in the halls on random days - and the time I'd spend on stage is that much less money you'd spend on something or someone else. I'm all free."
...And just in case he shot her(so wrongfully) down, she also threw out, "And I'll definitely be willing to help set up a good, sturdy stage. For sure."
Heh.
