We chose what we wanted but our director would encourage us to try other instruments, especially if she felt we were better suited for them. I started as clarinet and stayed a clarinet through middle school. It seemed to work and we always seemed pretty balanced instrumentally. Usually 3-5 Clarinets, 5 flutes, 3 trumpets and trumbones, a bass clarinet, and 3 percussionists. Not too bad for being so small.
Our high school director did the same and pushed me towards trumpet. She obviously didn't have as much of an eye(or ear) for what I was good at. I was LOUSY at trumpet... and that was one of the many reasons I dropped out of band during high school.
