WOW, I think I fit some of those things, manly because of my role in our music council and Bands, Sara B708, do you have a thing for the clarinet, or happen to be a clarinet player?, hehehe, I've been know as the "Chemist" hehehehe you can have a lot of fun when you mix me, chemistry and band/music, hehehe,
side note, never wipe your mouth piece clean with an alcohol swab,take a seat by a candle, then fall asleep as the flute choir plays "Cannon in D"
also note that, flutes are best for fencing, oboe's and clarinets are good for impailing, saxes/base clar./alto clar. are good for swinging and beating the crawp outa people, trombones, trumpets,baritones and tubas are good for lanching projectiles, batons- you throw at people and purcusion,etc. you just throw/push on top of your enemies, and this has been how to turn a band into an army

Huzzah! I can swing and beat the crap out of people with my alto sax! Her name? Reanan. Finnish for Witch.
In my Band, we refer to our instruments as our Beasts. We threaten our Director with harming our Beasts. She threatens to ceremonially burn us if we do. Oh, and she always has really old batons, so they constantly fly off their handles at us. It gets scary.
I feel so bad, though. I was in the vocal program at OELC! Am I still permitted to say "This one time, at band camp....?" Do tell!

Yeah, Stalder (short bob) would always end up having his batons fly across the room, same with pencils, unfortunatly, its really sad but Stalder lost "slim" (his pure black baton) and we never did find it, we turned the whole music room upside down looking for it, but never did find it......

My clarinet's name is Krystal. It's a beautiful name, but it's a darn ugly clarinet, it's one of the school's decades-old clarinets. Grubby. I plan to buy my own soon. They're bloody expensive, well, most instruments are! Oui Michelle, of course you can tell band camp stories!  |

I have my Own clarinet, really nice, fairly new, wood, not that old school crap, the bass clarinet I use is fairly new to and in pretty good contidion considering its the schools, on a very happy note Ze school's bassoon will be fixed when school starts, and the sweet thing is I get full dibs on it as I'm the only bassoonist in the school, YAY, the key thing here though is it will be fixed, YAY
