Re: How cool is that?!

In the four bands where I have played bass clarinet, I have always been next to the bassoons, usually in the 2nd row, right behind the flutes or oboes. Almost always there are loud brass right behind us, although one band had three tenor saxes (cruel and unusual punishment) behind me.

As a 3rd clarinet, I have frequently been in the last row of clarinets with something loud behind me and not a chance of being able to hear the 1st or 2nd clarients.

Years ago while playing alto sax I sat in front of trumpets and behind horns. That was loud.

If the trombones are good players, being in front of them is more painful than being in front of good trumpets.

I probably did not start using ear plugs early enough. I now have hearing aids.
