• At the beginning of every basketball game, the pep band plays the national anthem. Being the national anthem, we have to stand when we sing it, and being in the stands, we have to use lyres to read the music. Well, one time Tyron, who was sitting in front of me couldnt find his music so he stayed sitting while frantically searching his music foler, then when he finally found it he shot straight up to finish the song with us. The problem was, I'm a clarinet, which means me bell sticks out in front of me and on his way up he hit it with his shoulder. My clarinet shot straight up and jammed almost my entire mouthpiece to go into my mouth and let out an awful screech. i dont think anyone knew it was me, but just the thought of it makes my face burn with shame and i try not to gag at how much mouthpiece was in my mouth.
