Re: Class B solo for Bb Clarinet

I'm assuming that you're in Ohio, so I did a search for class B solos on the Ohio Music Education Association list. http://www.omea-ohio.org/SEP/HS.html
There are some great pieces here, although I'm not familiar with many of them.

Since you're not going to have a lot of time to prepare . . .
If you're not required to do a whole piece, perhaps one of the Gordon Jacob Five Pieces (for unaccompanied clarinet) would be a good choice. One or more of Gerald Finzi's Five Bagatelles would also be very nice.

If you'd like to look at the Saint-Saens sonata, it's on the IMSLP site:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Clarinet_Sonata,_Op.167_(Saint-Sa%C3%ABns,_Camille)
It's great music, but perhaps a bit too much to get ready in just a couple weeks.

The Tartini Concertino is also nice, but it might be a bit too much to get ready for a June audition.

Many of the selections on this list are found in Concert and Contest Selections
(Hymie Voxman, published by Rubank). This is a handy book to have, and it comes in separate clarinet and piano volumes. It's possible that your school has a copy. If you take private lessons, your teacher quite possibly has it.
