My name is Mark Greeley and am a clarinet undergraduate as well. Since it
seems to be a popular subject, I will reply. The various orchestra;
excerpts available can be found in several editions, but a good "compendium"
to own is Orchestral Excerpts for Clarinet" by Daniel Bonade. Also ordering
the actual parts to the following works would be a good investment:

Beethoven Symphonies No. 4, 6, 7
Brahms: Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos, Academic Festival Overture
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Rimsky-Korsokov: Sheherazade, Capriccio Espagnol
Ravel: Daphis and Chloe Suite No. 2
Kodaly: Harry Jonas Suite, Dances of Galanta

This is just a start, consult your teacher for more info and advice.
