Another idea along the lines that Jack was suggesting above:

I am employed at many schools as a clarinet clinician. I go in, I take the entire clarinet section and help them with anything from personal or ensemble fundamentals to rehearsing and (sometimes most importantly) HOW TO PRACTICE.

It is the band boosters of any school that compensates me, and I don't (necessarily) charge my full price as long as the program "looks after" me (read = I am the first recommendation instructor).

I make myself available to any student (whether they study with me or not) to answer any questions about equipment.

Why not approach the band director about inviting someone to come once a week or every other week?

This is not a substitute for private instruction...but class clarinet is the next best thing and can be focused on the music that the section is working on.
