The piece I referred to is called To A New Dawn, by Philip Sparke. We are also playing Loch Lomund, by Frank Tichelli. It has a bunch of cool clarinet lines in it too...
About the reeds, yes. And he told us to get harder reeds late last year, so many of us complied. My private teacher got mad, though, and told me to get softer ones. So naturally I followed her orders and my sound improved (not to mention that I can play louder). I think playing on hard reeds somehow "proves" that you are a good player. The lower two bands don't have the volume trouble.
My band director has tenitis. We know a lot about it. There are even earplugs for sale in the band room. Have you ever played clarinet with them in? It's definitely a different experience...
BTSOOI...lol
