Subj: clarinets and NFL players don't mix

Our marching band had the pleasure of playing at the Green Bay Packers
game. About the middle of the first half Farve threw a reception that was
tackeled
into the band. Now this was a very large individual and he landed on about
two and a half people. He took extra time to make sure everyone was ok. He
left and
we came upon the fact that one of our marching clarinets had become a casualty.
We march with these white VITO DAZZELERS that sound like *&%=, but they can
take a
beating. Unfortuately it wasn't able to take this beating and split compleatly
about mid-way up the top joint. The keys were a mesh of twisted mettle and
falling
out screws. Probably the best thing to happen to it. I wanted to bury it in
the
field but I don't think security would approve. I wonder if Lablanc would
include
this on it's endurance test???
