      Composers seem to have defaulted into duplicating other instruments when they write alto clarinet parts so they are essentially redundant even if you can talk someone into playing the instrument. When people do play the instrument they seem to play it extremely quietly so as not to be heard (can't get into trouble that way). I play in a community band and the director likes flutes and trumpets, everything else is extraneous fluff to her. It isn't much fun unless you are a flute or trumpet player.
