I play in a concert band, and I'm getting *really* tired of playing
works where the saxophone section gets to show off... or the flute
section... or the trumpet section... or the trombones. You get the
idea. :-)

The music committee is meeting soon to think about music for next
summer's season, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest pieces that
would feature some or all of the clarinet section (either just the first
chair players, or selected players from first, second and third chairs).

I know about Anderson's "Clarinet Candy" of course, but what about
others? Difficulty level for both soloists and band can be "medium" and
up.

There's an old piece by Donald I. Moore that may (probably) be out of print,
the name of which i don't remember, which is a crowd pleaser and fun which
features the clarinet section. For clarinet quartet and band then there is
"Capricious Winds," which may also be out of print, by a guy named West,
published by Studio PR.
Good luck.
Chuck
