Hi there. Did anyone notice the part in Mr Holland's Opus where the
clarinetist leaves her clarinet on the music stand overnight and
then comes back the next day and she plays it perfectly. She
didn't even lick the reed or wet it at all. Who knows how
warped that thing must have been from being out all night. That
must have been a detail that someone missed that only a
clarinetist would pick up on. Any others?

I went to see Mr. Holland's Opus with a fellow clarinetist
and we were both appalled by the clarinet player's habit of
leaving her clarinet on the stand. She was upset about her
playing and in front of Mr. Holland, puts it down on the stand
rather carelessly. We both cringed. Even when she comes back
as governor at the end of the movie, the clarinet is sitting on
the stand when she walks up to the orchestra to take her seat.
Does this bother anyone else? It is something seen in beginning
bands in some places, but by high school people should know better.
Maybe it is just the movies.
