Well...you could always listen to the singing. I heard that the
vocal parts are actually quite interesting!

Baring that, you could always take up crossword puzzles. This is an
ideal activity for an orchestral clarinetist:

1. They usually fit well on the stand
2. You will learn all sorts of useless information (unless you
become a contestant on "Jeopardy").
3. By virtue of doing -- and completing -- these puzzles while at
work, those around you will think you to be very intelligent...or
weird!

I'm still not quite sure what my colleagues are thinking about me,
come to think about it...
