does anybody here double on other instruments? for my old high school's spring musical, i'll be playing the alto sax, flute, piccolo, and clarinet. and i've mentioned them in the order of my proficiency. anyone else play on doubles?

I double on instruments. The same ones as you actually, except my best is clarinet.

We have a parade to participate in on the 8th, and I'll be playing both clarinet and alto sax.

When I play my clarinet, we won't be marching but I have to change to sax before the official marching starts.

Wow... I play Violin and Euph, as well as sing (not all at the same time though- xD), so concerts are way hectic for me. crying Cursed inability to quit anything without feeling guilty...

i wouldn't say that's a curse xd orchestra will be fun for me because i get to switch out between my 4 doubles like every 10 bars.

i toyed around with a bass clarinet once. i love it! i'd rather play that than a clarinet. what's great is that bass clari reeds and tenor sax reeds are pretty much interchangeable.

Yeah, Bass and Tenor reeds are pretty much the same. I was using one for the first week before I knew what it was... Anyway, I'm doubling Bass and Contrabass Clarinet for our next concert, festival, and state... (wish me luck please...)

I totally feel for you... I'm in choir, honors choir, jazz band and regular band so concerts are totally crazy... I lost my music during one of my concerts and I didn't find it until literally, 5 seconds before the band started to play...

omg I almost had a heart attack because of that... Turns out I left it on the risers by where the jazz band played. If the orchestra people hadn't been playing on the stage right after the jazz band I would've found it sooner...
