Re: Clarinetfest. What was it like?

I don't know what a lot of the performances were like but the exhibits were certainly ROCKIN! LOTS of people trying out all sorts of new things. I was working at Brad Behn's mouthpiece table and Brad, myself and Richard MacDowell had, at many times, more people than we could handle. It was terrific to see Brad's and everyone else's products do so well!

I had heard through the exhibitor grapevine that one table had three clarinets stolen in a single day. I was "carded" every time that I entered the exhibition room by the students from the universities that were working as monitors. The exhibition room was also locked after everyone left and a security guard was posted there overnight. Seems to me that things were very tight but perhaps thieves can also be very creative in how they lift goods. It's a shame because everyone at the exhibits work so hard to bring their products to the clarinet community. I only hope that it doesn't deter anyone from exhibiting in the future.

Were there other items "lifted" that I don't know about?

Successful and enjoyable convention all around. Looking forward to Vancouver in 2007!
