You have to field-strip an out-of-the-box R-13 and adjust the keys while
blindfolded, and while 200 oboists fire tracer spitballs at you from
pointblank range. You then have to reassemble the clarinet and play the
piccolo part from "Stars and Stripes Forever" in the correct key, all the
while returning fire on the oboists using as mini-crossbow filled with
discarded #5 reeds (OW!).

Worse You Have to do it in tune with the Sax and Trumpet Section

John

P.S. The trick is to tune to the section that is least likely to get you in
trouble since they never tune to each other.
