Subj: [kl] Community bands and clarinets

I play in two community bands and two orchestras. In Band A we have a full
complement of clarinets, but would not turn away any more who wished to
play, at this time. In Band B, I am the designated Eb player, BUT, since I
double on all the woodwinds, I find myself constantly carrying 5 or 6
different instruments to each rehearsal. In the two orchestras, I am the
principal in A and the asst. principal in the B. Each group has 4 clarinets
and we hire out if we need more. Most of the other community bands in the
area do have problems filling the clarinet sections. For the life of me, I
can't understand why, as this is such a musically rich area (greater
Baltimore-Washington, D.C.area).
