The Clarinet section may be seen in the gym or on the football field. Unfortunately, there usually ends up being some sporting event scheduled on top of us; try to ignore it as best you can--the Clarinet section apologizes for this inconvenience and is currently working toward repairing this problem.

Motto:

• If all else fails, put it up an Octave.

Curious Clarinet Facts: The Natural enemy of the clarinet is the trumpet (though "natural" is hardly the correct word...) The Clarinet section has been loosley following a function of doubling its size every year. This means there should be 50 or so Clarinets by the turn of the millenium.

Two Liers, Four of Us We didn't forget our music; we just like to share. The Clarinet section gets along very well because we are all just really cool people. We do not turn on each other on a whim and we do not eat our young (not to imply that any other sections do this...).

Bob the Phantom Section Leader This is one of those magic eye pictures. If you stare at it long enough, you'll be able to see Bob the Phantom Section Leader. (Really, honest!--he's there! If you can't see him, you haven't been staring long enough...)

Herbie and Company In an attempt to keep with the traditions of the old band, the section adopted the old mascot, Herbie the Duck. Well, Herbie later ended up being abducted by the Evil Trombone Section >:( who tortured and did bad things to him, so he no longer attends games with us. But his memory lives on with us.

Picc Chicks and Clarinet Co. High Woodwinds are scarce in these parts, so we all band together. (give yourself a bonus point if you caught that pun just now...) Here are Amanda, Adrianne, and Kellyann, along with Rebecca and Stephanie of the Picc Section.

Us 'n Herbie Herbie's a real party animal. He'd had one too many Mountain Dew's that night, which is why he couldn't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. (Which, of course, is normally punishable be execution, but since Herbie's judgement was obviously impared, we make an exception...)

Tiffany's attendence policy:

• If you make it there, you're on time.
• If you don't make it, you risk being marked tardy.

Tiffany's reed policy:

• If it looks fine from 5 yards away, it's perfectly playable.
• If it doesn't, it may not play well (but is, of course, still playable).
• Playability of a reed is inversely proportional to amount of reeds left. So, if you have only one reed left, it will be perfectly playable until you buy more reeds (at which point it becomes completely unplayable).

Coming soon: (where "soon" means within this millenium)

• The Miscelaneous Cal Poly Clarinets Pix Page
• A background image of some sort
• The History Page in a presentable form
• The "You know you've been in band too long when..." list to end all "You know you've been in band too long when..." lists
