Roger Hewitt's very much technically incorrect comment is quoted
below.

See Percy Grainger's Hill Song number 2 which contains parts for
both clarinets in B-flat and clarinet in A. There are other
works for band using A clarinets. Because one may not have seen
such parts does not mean there are none.

Quotation from Roger Hewitt's posting:

"Let's get real here - In a concert band, for instance, the A
clariinet
is never used - modern composers may want to use it for the
sound, but
it just isn't done, so tough."
