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 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.

i have been playing Clarinet for 5 years and Saxophone for two.

Wind Emsemble- 2nd chair Clarinet
Symphonic- 1st chair Clarinet
Jazz- 2nd chair Saxophone
and we don't have chairs for Marching band....: /

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!

Our band doesn't have chairs, but before he got rid of them I was third chair and had been playing for five years
