For the first rehearsal of this year's BJSO Christmas Concert, I was asked to bring my Eb. As I play the 2nd clarinet chair, I also brought my seldom used Yamaha effer along with the usual A & Bb combo, set them all up on my Blayman three peg and got all warmed up for the rehearsal. We we accompaning a local youth choir who was singing a seasonal medely of tunes and the music was to be passed out just before their time to rehearse.

When the part finally reached my stand, what the librarians memo failed to specify was immediantly evident............Eb ALTO SAX!!!

Fortunately, for the rehearsal, transposition was not the issue, but I did bring the correct "Eb" to the concert . We clarinetists are expected to play so many different instruments, arn't we?? (and isn't it fun!!)

BTW--Happy New Year, everyone.
