Okay, since I haven't posted here in a while, I'll start with a status update:
1) I have several auditions for colleges lined up
2) I just finished performing in the ILMEA Honors All State band, in which I was principal chair bass clarinet
3) My fingers are feeling much better now than before!
Anyway, the thing I'm excited yet worried about:
Whenever I play an auxiliary clarinet, it is always LOWER than the Bb (alto, bass, contrabass) but never HIGHER. I have virtually zero experience on the Eb clarinet. However, just today an Eb part was put in front of me, and not only that, it's a very high part! And on top of that, I have to switch to it from 1st Bb halfway through the piece, and this worries me. How can I switch in four measures from a bigger instrument to a very tiny, cold instrument, and nail those altissimo notes?

I can play bass clarinet, Eb clarinet, BBb contra, alto saxophone, bassoon at a decent level, and flute in a pinch.
