#bass clarinet
Let’s start a debate in the reed community:
You are given two options, but you can only pick one. No in-betweens. Which do you choose, and why:
1. Plastic reeds are good. I love them.
2. Plastic reeds are bad. I hate them.
I never used plastic reeds… So I’m going with wood reeds. Sry
Just a reminder: Your bad days only hold as much weight as your good days. By the same token, your good days hold just as much weight as your bad days. Neither one defines you as more or less of a musician. The fact that you had a bad day does NOT make you a bad musician.
IF YOU PLAY THE 2nd, 3rd, OR 4th PART OF THE MUSIC IN YOUR BAND, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. I’M COMPOSING A PIECE AND THE HARMONIES PROVIDED BY THESE PARTS LITERALLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY. DO NOT DOUBT YOUR IMPORTANCE.
God I love band life so much
