So, in my real life, I'm a choir teacher of middle school and high school students, and I try to be pretty open and honest with them. Now, I've heard my eighth graders talk about their exploits in WoW and I've definitely heard a number of my high schoolers say things like "w00t" and "blank + blank = win", which doesn't necessarily make it clear that they are WoW players, but I'd assume it's pretty likely.
So, I've never mentioned anything about playing to any of them, but I've also never been asked directly... until today.
One of my eighth grade men asked me flat out, "Have you ever played World of Warcraft?"
To which I responded, "Yep."
"Really?!?"
"Yeah, I have two level 70s, but we can talk about that later. Tenors, measure 36..."
This is a sure-fire way to freak out your middle school students. They see: "Teacher... hmmm, what do I do." Then they hear: "WoW player, w00t." What they do... Not sure, I think their brains explode.
The best part was when they were talking to each other at one point in the rehearsal and someone said, "Can a night elf get a dragon flying mount?"
"Yeah, it's not race based, it's a rep grind... but you have to have your epic flying skill already trained before you can start the quests."

If you're not careful they're gonna start seeing you as a real person with thoughts and feelings all your own, instead of just a dispensary of choir knowledge.
If you are giving out WoW knowledge in choir rehearsal then I would like you to give out choir knowledge on our next run.
Oooh, please do. A friend of mine said that he could come teach my classes for me one day. Here was his strategy:
First, he'd tell them, "Sing!"
[waits for singing]
Then, he'd say, "No... no no. Sing... better!"
I'm sure that'll be the next big thing.
