Actually, I heard a good explanation for those obscenely high clarinet parts...Sousa, apparently, had flutes in his marching band, but most people didn't, so he doubled the flute part with the clarinet...another beautiful example of a composer saying, "But my orchestration book says that's in the clarinet's range!" ;-)

Don't get me wrong. A little bit is good, like seasoning in food. A lot is too much. And certain combinations (i.e. unending measures of allegro sixteenths with staccato articulation on altissimo G) are poor unless the clarinetist is very, very good.
