Re: Scale patterns

The standard rhythm for most school auditions is quarter 8th-8th-8th-8th-8th-8th-quarter etc. for both octaves.

Articulation is whatever you want to do unless your band director specifies something. What always mattered to me as a band teacher (and as a clarinet teacher) was that any tongued articulation was clean. If your tonguing sounds clean (the notes speak immediately without extraneous noise), then you can decide what you're comfortable doing. If your tonguing isn't very good over the whole scale, then slur it (unless the director asks for something else) and make a point of working on improving your tonguing after the audition is over.

Do you have a clarinet teacher?
