    Today we had band and we did battle of the sections. Clarinets vs oboes and flutes vs saxophones. I'm a clarinetist and we won by a half point. I did a solo for Mary had a little lamb because we had just started band about 6 weeks ago and I got 10/10 points for the clarinets. Saxophones came in second then floboes my band teacher calls them because the flutes and oboes are one team. Band is the bomb.

    Spacedreams AJ 10/10 points for mary had a little lamb lol. If my band did this the Clarinets would loose by a landslide because we only have like 2 actually good players. While the flutes have a player that pratices about an hour a day and is probably the best in the band ._.

I got first chair with a chipped reed and some of them can be perfectly in tune. I'm not saying you should use chipped reeds. Just avoid them if you can.
