What else should I add? So far I have:
Chromatic Scale from E3 to A6
Circle of fifths scales starting from E3 to A6. Not sure whether to do sharps or flats first. Legato
Major scales starting from E up to Eb. Three octaves for keys A and below, two octaves for Ab to Eb for obvious reasons. Staccato
Appregio/Thirds exercises. I thought of a way to combine the two without sacrificing that much. For example, C-E-G-B D-F-A-Octave C and back down.
This was primarily going to be a hasty write-up for my small band but it would be great if everyone contributes and makes this an awesome warm-up for the big clarinet community.

I like starting out with low E, long tones, starting off "PP" and going to "FF" all in one breathe and look for a very even sound. I usually use one of those small tuners, because you want each note to play in tune from soft to load.
Next thing is messing with scales, knowing all of them, but at least 4 sharps and 4 flats, major and minor.

You're going to take a big chunk of your rehearsal time to have them play a bunch of scales (almost entirely major scales) and some arpeggiated 7th chords? Is that how you warm up at home?

Mixing things up is usually a good way to go.
If you're having issues with ... blank... , then that should be the thing you start off with in a methodical way. I don't think that I do much more for a warm up than run through some form of scales but maybe methodical (slow and steady) is the main thing.
Perhaps of late I run through the first Stark Arpeggio exercise (all the major thirds in a skippy sort of pattern), but these days with time at a premium most of what I do for practice is remedial work.

My warm-up:
*1.Longtones: chromatically hold for 4 beats on each note, breath after 3 notes are played
*2.Scales sheet: Every note should connect and the tone should sound how you want it
3.Scales in thirds
*4. 12 major scales: with arpeggios
5.Minor scales:with arpeggios
*6.Chromatic scale
7.Articulation Studies
*8. Excerpts from audition repertoire
The chromatic scale is played every time I even touch the clarinet as a brief warm-up when I come back to practice. Starred items are played on the days when I don't have time to fully warm-up.
Hope that helps!
