Flute, Clarinet & Woodwind Player Hats

Woodwind players carry one of the band room's best running feuds. I WET MY REEDS WITH THE TEARS OF BRASS PLAYERS is a collected clarinet saying on Barry Popik's slogan blog, and it leads this page in two colorways. Beside it sits the oboe quip AN ILL WIND THAT NOBODY BLOWS GOOD, which language writers trace back to at least 1929-1930. Then there are the reeds. Classic FM's list of the worst things about the clarinet names the lurking, omnipresent dread of a squeak, and it says a reed's life cycle runs perfectly fine, perfectly fine, then busted and never working again. CLARINET SQUEAKS ARE BONUS NOTES and I MAKE MY OWN REEDS AND MY OWN PROBLEMS are the wearer's answers. DOUBLE REED DOUBLE TROUBLE speaks for the oboe and bassoon, and the 97% HOT AIR line borrows an oboe slogan for the whole section. For flutists there is Lizzo, who played a crystal flute made by Claude Laurent in 1813, once given to James Madison and lent by the Library of Congress, at her Washington show in September 2022. I PLAY THE FLUTE LIKE LIZZO BUT IN A COMMUNITY BAND scales that down to a folding chair. FLUTE PLAYER and CLARINET PLAYER cover the plain badges, with a piccolo line for the highest voice in the band. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear your section, or give one to the band kid who still counts rests.
