In my area bass clarinets have just about always marched! I'm the first
graduating class of my high school and there have always been bass clarinets
marching, the nationally known band just down the street has been doing it
for 28 years now. In fact, I can't think of a single marching band in El
Paso that doesn't march bass. In fact, several bands march contras (although
I wouldn't do that if someone held a gun to my head) and even weirder stuff
like pitt stages that move around on the field and marching oboes. I guess
El Paso doesn't have "traditional" marching bands anymore :)
