I won it when I was a high school sophomore for playing Brahms' Hungarian Dance Number 5 on the clarinet at an MEA competition. It is somewhat tarnished now, from sitting unnoticed in a box of misc. crap from those days. So, I'll shine it up and mail it to the White House. Maybe it will grace the wall somewhere and live on forever. I switched from clarinet to oboe the next year, so it became irrelevant to me.
