Some classical composers do play practical jokes; the “Surprise” and “Farewell” symphonies might be a bit too quiet for Alice. She’d enjoy P.D.Q. Bach.
Back in the 1990s when one of my brothers saved up for his first guitar, a Mayfaire® F slot, and started a garage band with his friends, he HATED when bands would smash their guitars at the end of the performance, yeah THEY could afford it, unlike teens just starting out.
If you’re going to be onstage, gotta give people something to look at. People talk of going to “see,” not hear, some famous act when they’re attending a live performance. For an orchestral concert, I’m the one who pays less for an “obstructed view.” View of what? I know how those instruments work. I trust the players to do it correctly without my supervision.

If the band instructor is Charles Ives, he would definitely welcome Alice.

No, Alice! Take a tranq, kiddo.
I pity that poor dolly (it’s not Polyfill) whose head she’s bapping on the floor in her over-excited frenzy!
Petey is a more respectable musician, not one of your wild former hippy exhibitionists, Alice….
