 Re: Why Are Clarinets In Marching Band?

The arrangements that the bands local to me do don't have the brass or percussion going full tilt all the time. They do complicated symphonic like arrangements that use all of the available colors. Of the last three shows two at my son's high school have featured SOLO clarinet, Fiddler on the Roof and Rhapsody in Blue. My son had the first solo on RiB, and could be heard in the stadiums he played in without a microphone, as could his predessor on FotR. Leather Lungs and a light reed. Of course we have around 20 or so marching on clarinet, so they are heard.

It might be the arrangements your are using don't feature clarinet or woodwinds, they would seem to lack dynamics in that case, with everyone blatting full tilt all the time.

Drum and bugle corps have a fine tradition as well.
