I understand that having a wood clarinet for marching band is a big no no. I
already have a clarinet that I use for marching band rehearsals, but this
clarinte is so bad that I have been told that I'm not allowed to play it for
performances. So if I got an E-11 the only marching it would do is 3 days a
year and I'll be a senior next year, so it'll only be marched 3 times ever.
The rest of the time it would be used for school and in my high school's top
ensemble (which I sit 2nd chair in) we are required to have wood clarinets so
I can't really get a plastic one for school. I don't want to get an E-11 with
silver keys. I think it's a waste of money, but since the price of a silver
keyed on in the Woddwind is a lot cheaper than a nickle on anywhere else, I'm
willing to go silver.

ps. you mentioned in your signing thing that yougo to amador valley high
school. Is that the one in California? because if so, I go to some of the same
marching competitions as you.
