Montana State's clarinet player is the early March Madness breakout star
During Wednesday night’s First Four matchup between Grambling State and Montana State for a 16 seed, a star emerged, and he plays the clarinet.
An incredibly animated clarinet player in the Montana State turned into one of the early social media favorites of this year’s March Madness.
Really, this college musician, sporting long hair and a beard, gave it 110-percent while he was playing the clarinet in the stands with his bandmates.
It was an inspired performance that the broadcast couldn’t cut away from, one that instantly went viral for how passionate this clarinet player was for his March Madness set.

We like to think Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants would be proud to see someone embrace playing the clarinet in such a glorious way.
Win or lose for Montana State, college basketball fans couldn’t get enough of clarinet guy, who will be one of the definitive highlights of this year’s NCAA tournament.
