There Was A Solo For Alto Sax In Our Marching Band Piece And None Of The Saxes Had Looked At It Before

There was a solo for alto sax in our marching band piece and none of the saxes had looked at it before camp (I had but it was for someone playing alto on the field and I’m on clarinet), but when we played through the beginning of the part where the solo would be I naturally played it because why not no one else was going to that time. Then our band director realized I had looked at it and decided to make it available for audition to any instrument.

One of the other clarinets and one of the altos tried out too (the other clarinet worked on it over the summer as well). I don’t know who’ll have the solo yet but I’m just glad I’m the reason it was even an audition.

Now I’ve never played oboe (my sister has) or bass clarinet for that matter so take this with a grain of salt.

That seems like it’d be a pretty big change if you’ve never played bass clarinet before changing from a double reed to a single reed and also how loose you have to be for lower instruments. It might be easier to start with soprano clarinet since it’ll have similar music to oboe, you wouldn’t have to be as loose in your lips, and it’s also just a lot lighter.

band people, i am considering switching to bass clarinet for marching band next year, what do y'all think

Our first football game was an away game and the stand were far too small for us and I realized that the reason was that the school was expecting a marching band that was a similar size to them which looked like 30-40 people.

We have over 70 people.

I love it when two marching bands have the same stand tune and they start playing it faster or louder as a challenge to the other band
