Subj: [kl] Costco Clarinets!!!
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 12:37:10 -0500

Yesterday in band class my band director was having each of the clarinetists
in the band play this passage and when she got to my right hand (actually
left hand) man, he said "this clarinet isn't working" and she asked what
kind it was. He showed it to her and she was like "First act? What?" and he
said he had purchased it at Costco. Then she started laughing and said
"Nowonder these two have so many intonation problems! We have a Buffet (me!)
which is one of the best in the world, and then we have COSTCO!" Then we
talked and laughed about it for a while and Eric said "They make trumpets
too!" and then Miss Berry was like "Don't tell us that! We don't want the
trumpets getting any ideas.

That clears up the mystery of why Eric can sound really good one day and
really bad the next. He has two different clarinets that he plays on. I
think that one of them belongs to his brother though, so he plays the Costco
clarinet every other day. At least the clarinet came in a case and not the
Barbie Doll box that said "GREAT VALUE!" that I imagined. I believe we
discussed Wal-Mart clarinets around a year ago.
