Joe

So I felt my life flash before my eyes today. I have my orchestra audition tomorrow morning and wind symphony audition Tuesday. Of course today was going to be the day my clarinet breaks!

I am pretty sure time froze once I realized it was broken. No matter how hard I work something that simple could wreck my audition. I had a minor emotional break down. Once I finally got a grip on myself and came to my senses I called my parents and they gave me the phone number to the clarinet repairman I have used all the way through high school.

Joe (the clarinet repairman) listened to my situation and gave me his home address to bring my clarinet to. My dad then drove down all the way from Allen, picked me up, drove to Joe's and within 20 minutes of walking into Joe's house he had my clarinet repaired! Not only was it fixed in time for my audition tomorrow but Joe didn't charge me for it either!

I could breath again, finally! I was so scared for those few hours and like always everything turned out ok. I guess I will never learn.
