What somewhat upsets me is how people stop caring about clarinet quality in
marching band situations. Tone quality is still a must. For example our
marching band show has important woodwind parts where if the woodwinds don't
sound good, the music is ruined. You don't need to have your Opus or R-13 on
the field, but at least use a good setup on your junker, and when it comes to
replacing pads, don't get the cheapest. Get the most economically feasible
while still maintaining good tone quality.
