Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just received the part distribution for an orchestra I'm joining. On some of the pieces, I'm listed as "assistant clarinet" rather than with an actual part number. I'm confused which part this means I should practice- I assume it is clarinet 2?
For both the pieces where I am listed as "assistant clarinet" there is already one person on clarinet 1, one person on clarinet 2, and a bass clarinet. To make it even more confusing, when other people are listed as "assistant clarinet" in different pieces, they have been given an actual named part, so it says "assistant clarinet 1" or "assistant clarinet 2", whereas mine just says assistant clarinet.
Does this mean I am just supposed to assist whichever part is needed? So I have to practice both parts?? ![[huh]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie11.gif)
