I was just wanted to see how long everyone
here has been playing and
what chairs/rankings people have in their
school bands. I guess I'll start-
I've been playing clarinet for 6 years and
I am 16 and a junior in high school
Symphonic band- 1st chair section leader
Wind Ensemble- 3rd chair
marching band- first chair section leader

You may also want to specify which band is highest that you are in
in because each school is different according to the way they
rank there bands. at my high school, wind ensemble is the top band
that you have to audition for. The symphonic band is for anyone
that plays an instrument.
I've played clarinet for 2 years and bass clarinet for a year and a half. I am the only bass clarinet player. I play the clarinet in marching band, and I'm not sure what chair I am yet.
I played soprano clarinet for two years, then switched to bass and am starting my fifth year on that. I'm first chair bass clarinet in symphonic band, our top band (none of this silly "wind ensemble" business! ) I march on mellophone, and we have no form of chairs or anything for marching.
Been playing clarinet for 2 months, teaching myself....I played piano for 4 years and self taught another 2 years....I'm just learning clarinet to play jazz (I love Jazz). Dont play marching band but got recruited to join this small 'orchestra' at my church which consists of Bass, Cello, 3 flutes, alto sax, trumpet, two violins, picolo and one other clarinet and soprano sax....hope to start practicing with them this fall....
I've been playing since 6th grade, I'm going to start my first year of high school on the 27 of August.
Middle school Honor Band, 1st chair
Middle School District Band, 1st Chair
Middle School Region Band, 1st chair
I'm in the Wind Ensemble at my High School,
Austin Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, 2nd Chair
And thankfully we don't have chairs in marching! I worried about marching though, for some reason I have a feeling I'm going to fall during our show, and look like an idiot!
I'm ten, in Year Six in primary school, i've played clarinet for 2 years and keyboard for 3 years. im not in a band yet but ive passed my UK Grade 1 keyboard exam and have been invited to join my district band.
I'm the girl who HPB talks about in his message "Practice."
I've played Bb clarinet for about four years and i am first chair in the jazz band. I'm also first chair in our symphonic band, in which i play oboe (this is my second year of oboe).
I've been playing for about 5 years and have progressed...
1st chair clarinet in (school) band/only clarinet in (school) orchestra
1st chair in Jazz Band (school)
only clarinet in Jazz Band (Oakton Community College)
