    It's really coming from a high school chorus teacher whose office shares a door with the band room, where in a month and a day there will be 15 or so juvenile sax players and holders wanting 3 and 4 and maybe even 4 1/2 reeds so they can be louder than each other when they go outside for marching band. Get the picture?

    My condolences! ;)

    Exactly why I've never played in, nor will ever teach/direct a marching band!
