We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Given posting: "Contract, Temporary: October 19, 2026-February 12, 2027 Lakeside School, an independent 5-12 coeducational day school located in North Seattle, seeks a music director for the 8th grade’s musical, Hans Christian Andersen, Jr Schedule & Timeline Auditions: November 4-6, 2025 Rehearsals: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 3:40–5:40 p.m., mid-November to early February Extended rehearsals: Begin week of February 2, 2026 Performances: February 10–12, 2026 Performance Note This production will use provided backing tracks instead of a live pit. The music director should have strong piano skills for teaching and rehearsal purposes—able to play individual vocal lines or two to three lines with chords—but performance-level accompaniment is not required. Familiarity with music editing software is highly desired. Responsibilities Attend production meetings. Attend auditions and collaborate with the director on casting. Lead large-group music rehearsals. Provide individual and small-group vocal coaching to soloists and featured singers. Assist in stage rehearsals by playing tracks, cueing vocal parts, and correcting mistakes. Edit vocal tracks as needed. Lead vocal warm-ups before rehearsals. Perform other related duties as assigned Requirements and Qualifications Ability to attend all agreed upon rehearsals and performances (transportation not provided). Demonstrated cultural awareness, including knowledge of themselves and the cultural lenses they bring to interactions. The candidate will understand different perspectives; interact respectfully with cultures other than their own; and cultivate meaningful relationships with people that have different cultural frameworks. Satisfactory completion of three criminal background checks. The statements in this job description are intended to describe the general nature and level of the work to be performed by (an) individual(s) assigned to this position. They are not an exhaustive list of all duties and responsibilities related to the position. This job description will be reviewed periodically as duties and responsibilities change with business necessity and school policy and procedures. Essential and marginal job functions are subject to modification. Compensation Stipend: $4000 Application Process Interested candidates should submit a brief cover letter, resume, and work history via Lakeside’s online application. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Lakeside School is an equal opportunity employer seeking to diversify its workplace. Working At Lakeside At Lakeside we are committed to sustaining a school in which individuals representing diverse cultures and experiences instruct one another in the meaning and value of community. To learn more about working at Lakeside, including our professional development and mentoring programs, benefits, diversity and inclusion, and opportunities for involvement in non-academic programs, please visit our Careers page on the Lakeside School website." We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove "Application Process ...", "Lakeside School is an equal opportunity employer...", "Working At Lakeside ..." etc. We need to keep substantive info: contract dates, schedule & timeline (auditions, rehearsals, extended rehearsals, performances), performance note, responsibilities, requirements and qualifications, compensation (stipend). Also maybe "About the role" could be the initial description: "Contract, Temporary: October 19, 2026-February 12, 2027 Lakeside School, an independent 5-12 coeducational day school located in North Seattle, seeks a music director for the 8th grade’s musical, Hans Christian Andersen, Jr". That is about the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't need heading for job title. We need sections: maybe "About the role", "Schedule & Timeline", "Responsibilities", "Requirements and Qualifications", "Compensation". Also maybe "Performance Note" could be part of schedule or responsibilities? It's a note about backing tracks and piano skills. Could be part of "About the role" or separate "Performance Note". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one heading? The instruction says use headings for those specific labels; we can have separate headings for Requirements and Qualifications if content exists. But we have combined "Requirements and Qualifications" in posting. We could split into two sections: Requirements and Qualifications. However we need to ensure we have real specific content for each. The posting lumps them together; we could still split but might be artificial. Better to keep as one section maybe "Requirements and Qualifications" but that's not in allowed list. Allowed list includes Requirements and Qualifications separately. We could put content under both headings duplicating? That would be repeating content, not ideal. Perhaps we can treat "Requirements and Qualifications" as a combined section under either "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since both are present, we could put under "Requirements" and also include qualifications there. Or we could make two headings but split content logically: Requirements: Ability to attend all agreed upon rehearsals and performances (transportation not provided). Demonstrated cultural awareness... Satisfactory completion of three criminal background checks. Qualifications: maybe the piano skills, music editing software? Actually those are under Performance Note. But we could treat them as Skills. There's a "Skills" heading allowed. So we could put piano skills and music editing software under Skills. Then Requirements: attendance, cultural awareness, background checks. Qualifications: maybe nothing else? Could be left empty? But we must not create a heading with filler. So better to not have Qualifications heading if no specific qualifications separate. We'll put piano skills and music editing software under Skills. Then Requirements: attendance, cultural awareness, background checks. Also maybe the statement about job description not exhaustive etc is boilerplate; remove. Compensation: Stipend: $4000 -> Pay heading. Schedule: we have schedule & timeline details: Auditions, Rehearsals, Extended rehearsals, Performances. Also maybe contract dates? Could be part of About the role. We'll put schedule under Schedule heading. About the role: initial description: Contract, Temporary: Oct 19 2026-Feb 12 2027 Lakeside School ... seeks a music director for the 8th grade’s musical, Hans Christian Andersen, Jr. Performance Note: about backing tracks, piano skills, music editing software. Could go under Skills (piano skills, music editing software) and maybe a note about backing tracks under About the role or Responsibilities? The note says "This production will use provided backing tracks instead of a live pit. The music director should have strong piano skills for teaching and rehearsal purposes—able to play individual vocal lines or two to three lines with chords—but performance-level accompaniment is not required. Familiarity with music editing software is highly desired." This is more about skills and maybe responsibilities (play tracks). But we already have responsibilities covering playing tracks, cueing vocal parts, etc. So we can incorporate piano skills and music editing software under Skills. The backing tracks note could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Probably part of About the role as context. We'll include it in About the role paragraph. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrasing where possible. Let's extract sections: About the role: "Contract, Temporary: October 19, 2026-February 12, 2027 Lakeside School, an independent 5-12 coeducational day school located in North Seattle, seeks a music director for the 8th grade’s musical, Hans Christian Andersen, Jr" Add performance note: "This production will use provided backing tracks instead of a live pit." Could be included. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll combine. Responsibilities list: - Attend production meetings. - Attend auditions and collaborate with the director on casting. - Lead large-group music rehearsals. - Provide individual and small-group vocal coaching to soloists and featured singers. - Assist in stage rehearsals by playing tracks, cueing vocal parts, and correcting mistakes. - Edit vocal tracks as needed. - Lead vocal warm-ups before rehearsals. - Perform other related duties as assigned.
