What is Clarinets?
Only the best instrument ever. Very easy to learn, but hard to actually get good at. Despite common beliefs from the other sections and the pit, you do have to be smart to play it. Only the smartest people can make section leader.
Usually the section as a whole is disfunctional, but is better than the rest of the band. Despite what the cologuard thinks, we make the band look pretty, not them.
Usually the ones that play other instruments, (french horn) and they are the ones in band who get all the guys.
Band class would fail without clarinets.
Do you ever see clarinets falling while they march?

Clarinets - what is it?
quite possibly the instrument most closely resemblant to the human voice. has a tremendous dynamic range from a whisper to full cantabile. capable of legato and rapid passages. composers have long used the clarinet for nostalgic or tender moments in music, and its versatility unrivals anyother instrument-classical, jazz, folk...truly the biggest asset to an orchestra's wind section
The clarinet's sound is the voice of humanity
What does "Clarinets" mean?
The most amazing instrument in the band. Can be used as a weapon, spit cannon, and a way to drive your band teacher crazy. it has over 3 octaves, and with practice, it sounds great. If a clarinet is cursed, like mine, it will become great friends with the repair man. The clarinetists are the most energetic and devoted members of the band. We tend to burst out into laughter once in a while, but when its show time, we run around a few times and get serious. The instrument uses a reed, which tends to break... alot. It looks like a jig-saw puzzle when you first open the case, but with a little cork grease, it goes together perfectly. Clarinets also tend to run away, or play hide and go seek, yes they do have imaginary legs. It takes a while to find it, but you always do. When they are dropped, it makes a loud and obnoxious noise, then the teacher starts laughing, then the whole band. Clarinets do not sound well when you just ate LOTS of pretzels, and backwash gets in and comes out the cannon. With bass clarinets, the sound is low and its extremely hard to reach a high C. You can't drop a bass clarinet because there is a neck strap around your ankle, just kidding, your neck.
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to drop my Clarinet during rehearsal! ITS THE CURSE
Clarinets - what does it mean?
The clarinet is typically a black instrument with just over a 3 octave range and in the key of B flat. There are other types of clarinet more rarely used including the clarinet in E flat, clarinet in A, alto clarinet, and of course bass clarinet.
The clarinet tends to fall below flute and above alto saxophone in a typical band score order. The sound is created by a vibrating reed which players can purchase of different thicknesses ranging from 1-5. Beginning players usually start with a 1.5-2 thickness while advanced players use 3-4. The thicker the reed is the more difficult it is to play however a 3 will produce a better tone that is much more rich and dark compared to a 2.
A typical beginning clarinetist will tend play with a cheap plastic clarinet. Once they have mastered the fingerings and the correct ombishure they may move on to a more expensive wooden clarinet whose tone is much more vibrant. The most popular brand of wooden clarinets today is the "Buffet" (buff-ey).
In an orchestra it is typical to see an average of 5-8 clarinets with the fewest playing the "top" parts and the most playing the bottom (or lower). When played correctly the clarinet has a beautiful tone on wide range of notes.
Jeff started playing the Bb Clarinet in fourth grade and would like to play the Eb or Bass Clarinet.
Kate plays a Bb Buffet Clarinet, uses Vandoren #3 reeds, and she is second chair.
Colin made an accident in his clarinet.
