At one point last year, I had a student clarinetist disappear 15 minutes before downbeat on our musical, and no one to cover the part. My gorgeous instruments are sitting at home in my closet, a good 45-minute round-trip from my school. I run over to my instrument lockers in my classroom and locate the only instrument I can find, a middle schooler's beat-up, non-functional, Taiwan-made rental. I sterilized the mouthpiece (unknown), found a Rico Reserve 3.0 in one of my desk drawers left over from a demo, and with some screwdrivers and a lighter get the clarinet to seal. Played the entire show.
Afterwards, people were coming up to me like "wow, you sound fantastic, is this your new clarinet??" :P
My best recent reminder that sometimes the car really isn't as important as the driver.
