I don't play it, but I figure this would be a good place to ask...
Does your school march bass clarinet? I think ours is going to... But we don't know for sure yet.

Eb Contra alto: first band
Bb Bass: Second band
At your service.
We dont march bass clarinets at our school, / the bass clarinets we have are all concert basses, so they would probably crack and break../

You read my mind. smile
I really wanted to play bass this year, but the rental charge is freakin' insane. I love the bass clarinet, but I guess this year I'll just play clarinet. Next year, though- Oh yesh!!! Bass for me!!!! biggrin heart heart

:X I dunno what I'll do. I use a school bass clarinet, and it won't be available to me next year, and I've already memorized all my bass clarinet marching music. I don't want to go back to clarinet!!!!

My school doesn't march bass clarinet, but I play it in my schools symphonic band. Some of the music i have to do is actually really hard. The hardest thing is having to switch between bass clarinet and clarinet. I'm switching from bass clarinet then to clarinet.

I play the Bass Clarinet, and couldn't be more proud of it. I named him Frank. But he is a school instrument that cost $7,000, so I am scared to death that some thing would happen to him. Frank is only like two feet shorter then me. I am like the shortest in the entire band and I play the largest Clarinet. Next year, I am play THE largest clarinet. The Contra-Bass, which is like four feet tall (I am only five). I am like that last one you would see playing the bass or contra-bass. But I rock that Bass Clarinet.
I love Ya FRANK!

well....i played it....a long time ago...(like how about 6 years ago....for a year...) but since there was a thread for it, i thought i'd show my appreciation for the second-most-sexy instrument biggrin it's only second because there is such a CONTRABASS clarinet biggrin (btw we don't march any clarinet except for Bb, but theres a school nearby that used to march not only bass, but a contrabass! i think it had wheels or something haha) (oh and our school doesn't have a contrabass so basses are the next best thing lol except when we do combined band and my friend gets to play the contra-alto haha)

phenoix fire My school doesn't march bass clarinet, but I play it in my schools symphonic band. Some of the music i have to do is actually really hard. The hardest thing is having to switch between bass clarinet and clarinet. I'm switching from bass clarinet then to clarinet. really true was playing bass clarinet for a long time then had to go march with my ordinary one and took me forever to get back to being use to it >.> also made me realize just how small regular clarinet reeds really are...

A stool and some text books can work wonders.
