clarinet players>>

Sara, I had to chuckle when I read this. When I was a 40-something, I
belonged to the Westerly (RI) band. This band claims to be the oldest
continuously operating band in the US. The technique that I found most
difficult was marching in step, playing the music, and not tripping over my
own feet. The one easy thing was that I didn't need ANY glasses to read the
music on the lyre. The hardest thing was HILLS. Playing clarinet in a
marching band is really hard work. I don't think everyone realizes that.
