Weird ol' funky A key. I was just randomly thinking of this, but my first clarinet was a cheap one. The A key was messed up. Sometimes it would be bended downward and barely open. Other times it would play great. It was really annoying. This article is really just saying don't get a cheap clarinet, if you plan to stay in the clarinet. Because one ITS INSANELY ANNOYING two, when it starts getting really bad you have to take it to the shop. and 3, at first if you tell the director/teacher it's not your fault its the instrument, they'll probly cut you some slack at first, but not to long. And you'll get a bad ranking/chair.

Ok I know that probably no one cares about some honor band in Oklahoma but I do because...well...I'm in it! But if you do care the performance is Friday, January ninth. The clarinet section is gonna be realy great, I heard some of the people who made it at the try-outs and they were realy great! And me and two of the other realy great clarinetists are in the band! We were'nt placed as high as we would have liked but at least we are in the biggest honor band other than all-state in the state of Oklahoma! I am so excited about the concert and I know that I am probly the only member here that will realy care but oh well I'm excited and had to let a little bit of excitment out or I think I would explode!
