Aussiegirl--the show was over last week. We made it with three reed players: Reed One (Flute/picc), Reed Two (Oboe/EH), and Reed Three (Bb clar, Eb clar, sop sax) (me). Things sounded good enough without the low parts--I looked through the bari/bass sax/bass clar books, and there wasn't anything there that was really critical, or at least more important than what I was playing in Reed Three. It would have been nice, certainly, to have those lower parts, but it didn't kill the show without them. The stand-up bass player filled out the bottom parts in Marian quite well.
Only real problem was that the Reed Two book was about 75% clarinet (in addition to double reeds), and the oboe player who got the book didn't play clarinet--a major slip-up by the conductor who did the hiring.
