I wouldn't mind playing alto clarinet at all. I miss it! I wish I would have
practiced it more, but my chances at this are now on how I did on alto
clarinet. I blew it on the same stupid scale in both auditions. I just
blanked out on them. I know that I know the scales, but the judges didn't.
Luckilly I nailed the G scale on 3 octaves for alto clarinet.
