Actually, that's odd to me - when I was in high school, and in college, the
ratio of female to male in our clarinet sections was approximately 1:1. No
one thought that clarinet was a "girl" instrument at all.

Remember to impress upon them that clarinet is not just for girls. There are
only three of us in FHS's Band, as opposed to 20 some odd girls. We are
looked down upon by some of the other sections, and my trombone section
considers me a traitor :P
