    I love playing the Bass Clarinet, almost as much as I love the Soprano or Contrabass Clarinet. I'm currently a high school student playing these, and I really love being in band with all my friend. What a great Clarinet world we live in, am I right Mozart?
    This video is nothing like middle schooler playing flight of the bumblebee, or how to circular breath in 10 minutes. This video is an all new Clarinet video filled with so much Clarinet and fun.

    this video is very old! Almost 6 months now. Actually broke my wrist and couldn't go through the marching season that year unfortunately :(
    My part was really bad/boring; but I tried to make the most of it by overplaying everything haha. I think next year I'm going to try and write my own part that's more fun because clearly the writer does not see the value of the bass clarinet. I'll make them see it :D

      I’m sorry you couldn’t go! That’s the worst! I’m playing Bari for marching band. I’m guessing that song was Enemy by Imagine Dragons? Most parts for the Bari are boring in concert band, but in jazz… it’s waaay better. But the thing about playing as a low reed instrument is that you always have awesome, powerful, and cool third part harmonies in the chord and the third part harmonies are what gives me chills! Good job Dude!
