Missing easy notes

With some encouragement from this forum I joined our local windband in Jan 2004. From initially not being able to keep up with the others, I now enjoy the music , especially the concerts where the adrenalin raises our performance a few notches.

I now play with another third clarinettist in a small group, planning a gig in a few weeks. I practice the more complex bits till I feel they are "under my fingers", but one tune has eluded me. I play it OK at home but when I play with my colleague, the instrument (me) just doesn't play. I have tried to concentrate on fingering problems and embouchure issues. At home - no problem; at his house - nothing comes out. He proposes to drop that number from the repertoire, but I would like to persisit.

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

Conrad
