12 days of bandcamp:
On the 12th day of Band Camp my true love gave to me:
Twelve clarinet hookers
Eleven percussionists with hidden agendas
Ten jazzy saxophones
Nine upbeat pep-songs
Eight happy flutes
Seven student leaders
Six crazy trumpets
Five Soloists
Four freshman trombones
Three giggling French Horns
Two gigantic Tubas
And a band director losing his cool
