Re: What row should the piccolo clarinet sit in?

In our ensembles, we've had the clarinets all sit on the second row. The 3rds sat on the end, then seconds, then the firsts in the middle (behind the first flute and oboe), and then E-flat and bass (then bassoons). This put the firsts and E-flats together, and also put them near the flutes and piccolo. This was great for when I was playing E-flat, because I could hear both the flutes and the firsts.

If the clarinets are sitting in the setup where they're all on the outside, and sitting on all three rows, I'd prefer to have the E-flat next to the firsts, so that the E-flat, the firsts and the flutes can hear each other.
