So during Gene Pokorny's clinic this morning, he put up music for The Ride of the Valkeries on the overhead and invited people who had their instruments handy to play along with the recording that he was playing out of a stereo. My impression was that most everyone was pretty intimidated to play the Ride in front of a large of tuba players like that, and I think Chris Olka was the only one that actually did play along with Gene.

So later in the clinic Gene was using the Ride again as an example to illustrate something else, and wouldn't you know that I left my cell phone on. Can anyone guess what the ring was? Yeah. So while Gene was playing the Ride, much to my embarassment my friend called me and the Ride started playing (very loudly, I might add) on my cell phone. Gene exclaims "I knew somebody would join in!" Laughter commences.

It is a story I'm sure I will never forget.
