"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 *&%@-----. 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???"

Sean,

Save that clarinet and make a lamp out of it if you can! It would make a
great conversation piece at a party!
