FELLOWSHIP OF THE....MOUTHPIECE?!
By Nazgul Mistress, with assitance from Anya Tangeburr and Co.

The Band has changed.
Much that was once played is lost. For none now perform,
who remember it.

It began with the forging of the Instruments of Power. Three
were given to the Elves as Woodwinds:, for they were immortal, sexiest
and most elvish of all. Seven went to the dwarf lords in the shapes of
drums, and rhythm came from the mountain halls.
And nine, nine were given to Men as brass instruments, for above
all else, brass players know that they are in tune and in step.
For withen these instruments was the strength and wisdom to
govern each section.
Yet all of them, were decieved......
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Low, Coron, the Dark
Lord, forged in secret, a master Mouthpiece, for into this Mouthpiece he
poured his stubborness, his tone quality, and his will to dominate all bands.
One by one, the bands of Middle Earth fell under the control of Coron's alluring mouthpiece, but some resisted.
At last, a final alliance of Brass and Woodwind united, and on
the slope's of Mount Low fought for the freedom of Middle Earth's music
programs. Victory seemed near, but the sounds of the Mouthpiece could not be undone. It was in this moment that Dave,
Son of the King took up his father's sword, and smote the Mouthpiece from Coron's trombone.
Coron, the Enemy of the Free Musicians of Middle Earth was defeated.
The Mouthpiece passed to Dave, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted.
The Mouthpiece betrayed Dave, to his removal from First Chair. And
some things that should not have been forgotten were lost in the mud.
Much has passed out of knowledge, since that fateful day that Dave's
gaurds found their king on the bank of a river, seeking frantically for the m
outhpiece that betrayed him. Yet somehow, it came into the possession of a strange breed of creature, Hobbits....
For there would come a day when Hobbits would shape the fortunes of all.......
