All bass clarinetists rejoice!

We have been avenged!!!

Ahh, yes I noticed that while browsing some sheet music.

Now if only they can make our own forum...

Now they need an English Horn and the world will be a happy place!

english horn would be a very lonely forum

It's kind of sad that there's only one song in the bass clarinet section.

Like, we like you, but just enough to say that we like you, not to actually show that we like you.

A lot of instruments are lonely.

What if they had a double reed section? Because you're right, just english horn or other double reeds seperate would be extremely lonely.

All clarinet music can be played on bass clarinet too =]

Although when I was playing for an orchestra this summer, they put my name under clarinets and put (bass) beside my name. I really find that stupid, because the saxes each get there own section, why can't I?

you should get ur own section... with shiny lights around it too!

u only have one flute? dang u must live in the middle of nowhere...

true true... but only one flute? in beginning band we had like 30... we had 56 clarinets in the beginning, then about 4 or 5 switched to sax(u have to start on clarinet to play saxophone at our school)

We had an overwhelming amount of clarinets.

Now we have one oboe, one bassoon, a contrabass clarinet, and one baritone.

Everything else we've got plenty of!

Contrabass clarinet is awesome!! Hehe!

Yeah. I like english horn, maybe they should add a eh section and a bass/contrabass clari section..

This year we had 20+ flutes and 20+ clarinet. We only had about 3 good clarinets, and all of them are leaving next year, so I'm switching to clarinet for band. I know that my school has an alto clari, perhaps Ill be able to play that if my band director wants =) Although I dont think we have a contra bass clarinet! I wish we did though I'd play that for sure! Of course, theres no way I'd walk my 3km to school with it xD.

As for unique instruments, we had 1 bari sax, 1 bass clari, 1 french horn 1 oboe no bassonists and 3 baritones.

we have like 4 bands at our school...

last year the beginning band took up like the WHOLE stage... it was hard getting enough chairs and stands:D

Yeah... our 6GB last year had 7 flutes, 6 trombones, 6 trumpets, 5 percussionists, 1 tubist, 1 baritone, 1 oboe, 1 base clarinet, and 36 clarinets. I think about 10 are quitting this year, though.
