That depends on what instrument you are talking about. For clarinet, if it's a youth band, you probably need to be able to play up to Altissimo G. If it is a professional band you may occasionally need Altissimo A. Professional Orchestra players are expected to be able to play up to Altissimo C.

That's the one: RT G#1--1--C#. That's C7 and is the "official" top note of the clarinet given in all the books. You will very rarely find any music that needs higher notes.
