LISA SAID:
My band director does this too. She wants a section worked on, she'll call
out "Low brass! Bassoons!" Best way to get these anti-low-clarinet
conductors to change their habits? Start asking, very loudly, "Do you want
BASS CLARINETS too? We have that part." Makes them break their
concentration and eventually they'll get the point, if only to avoid having
to start their train of thought chugging uphill again.

No, the way th get the director's attention is when he asks the clarinets
to play, you play too. After all you are playing a clarinet. Then everyone
can hear your part and how great it sounds under the "other" clarinets.
