Thank you for your reply a few weeks ago. I didn't get much of a chance to look over the materials you sent in detail until this week. After considering everything, I think I may be interested in applying for an assistant position. As I assume, as you said, there is on-the-job training involved, I will likely hold off until it is a bit closer to my graduation date. If you think it would be advisable that I apply earlier, do let me know.
One more thing: in the future, should I continue to contact you, or should I communicate with the road manager?
