An Interruption of my Most Educational Blog for Some Humor. Ahem.

A shout-out to all my minions at Decatur Central High School!  

Here's a clarinet pick-up line for your personal amusement:
"Your embouchure needs work, mind if I take a closer look?"

Don't ever use that. Really.

Also, here's hoping that none of you run into this problem in the next 3 weeks before I see you again...

After working on a reed and it sounds beautiful, but then it barely plays the next day...

And now some seriousness: In the first 6 seconds of this clip you'll find a piece of my favorite drum corps show of all time: The Cadets from the year 2000 with their show "We Are The Future".  Although they took the entire show off of Youtube literally the day before I went to post this (boooooooooo), the opening is the part I wanted you to see: that amazing intake of breath followed by a blow-your-face-off wall of sound!  I sentence you all to goosebumps of the cranium!

And here's the crappy high school version of that same Cadets show, featuring gawky-high-school-Kevy at 4:45.  
Enjoy, but not too much.
