Everyone in the band, including the conductor, needs to attend some live concerts by any of the major U.S. Armed Forces military bands--Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, and observe that the clarinet sections in these bands can clearly be heard. These reason? Discipline and Attention! The brass and percussion especially both listen to the other sections and watch the conductor, who keeps the section volume and balance at the proper level at all times. If anyone gets brash and out of hand they are reprimanded.
In school bands, the brass and percussion often listen to nothing but themselves, pay little heed to the conductor, and blare and pound in an unleashing of animal spirits that produces nothing but sound and fury--and effectively covers up the clarinets, flutes, and other softer woodwinds. In a word, they are undisciplined and inattentive.
