Having worked at several universities, including yours, fresh, I have to say that I would have been a hard ass and failed you. Accountability is just one of those things that as a TA you have to do. You have to stick to your guns and not let any student slide for any reason. That's how the real world works... it sucks, but you're better for it in the end.
U of I has such a good School of Music - I know you would have had no trouble finding a concert to attend.
