Bass Clarinet & Bari Sax in marching band
Hello all, I am about to finish a degree in music education and wanted to get people's opinions on the title of this post. Personally, my high school marched both my freshman year, but after that we didn't, and the people who played those instruments marched something else. What I was told in my marching band class & other general classes in college is that you should only march them if you have a huge school with enough players on each instrument to make a textural impact. But I go out in the world and see mid to small-sized schools with one bari player and 2 or 3 bass clarinets. As someone who will be handling logistics and show design for my own band in a year, I would like to know if people have any thoughts/opinions they would like to share. Thanks!
