Does anybody have any suggestions for intermediate solo's. Like Grade 4 5 or 6 on a scale of 1 to 6. Cause I know some states use the 1 to 7 and the 1 to 4 stuff too. Any help would be appreciated

Jobodi -
It's a big world of possibilities, and we really need more information before we can suggest something. For example:
How long have you been playing?
What grade are you in?
How do you rate your playing?
Do you study privately?
What else have you played that is about the right level?
More specifically:
Are you comfortable with, say, 1st clarinet parts on Sousa marches?
Can you toungue 16ths at quarter note = 120? At 132?
Can you play major and minor scales through 3 sharps/flats? 4? 5? 6? 7? In thirds (C-E-D-F-E-G, etc.)?
The more we know, the better the suggestions can be.
Best regards.

well I have been playing for 2 and a half years I haven't taken prvt lessons i was 8th chair at All State after 1 1/2 years of playing I'm in 10th grade I can tongue 16th notes at 120 and lately i have been playing the Easter on the White house Lawn by sousa and i play 2nd part which i noticed is unison with the first part for a good majority and in other parts it's like an octave higher which becomes easier for me to tongue and I'm very comfortable in the altissimo register. i hope this is enough for a few suggestions THANK YOU

I personally like:
1)Heinrich Baerman's Adagio,
2)English Folk songs by Vaugn(spell?) Williams,
3)Mozart concerto 2nd part,
4)Mozart clarinet quintet, transcribed for piano and clarinet,
5)Weber's concertino,
6)Schuman Fantasie stucke 1st part.( If you have A clarinet 2nd and 3rd become easier.)
7)Schuman three romances.
8)Danzi sonata.
