Subj: Re: [kl] Alto Clarinet in Concert band?
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:13:46 -0400

There are some band pieces that have really good alto clarinet parts. A
lot of them area the earlier works for concert band but not all. I
played alto clarinet last semester in our band and I also had a bass
clarinet for pieces that didn't have alto clarinet parts.
