Are there clarinets in the marching band?

Answer 1

Clarinets are a vital part of any woodwind section, and thus are in high school bands. Sometimes colleges will march clarinets, as well, but sometimes they only take brass and percussion. DCI never marches woodwinds, though, because it is a drum corps, and a drum corps, by definition, only has brass and precussion.

Answer 2

Yes, sometimes. In most high school bands, there are clarinets and other woodwinds (flutes, piccolos, saxophones, etc.) It depends on the discretion of the band director. She or he may choose to only have certain woodwind instruments, like saxophones, because of their projection ability, and so on and so forth.

In some college bands, however, it's only brass and drums. There are independent pageantry organizations called drum corps that use entirely brass and percussion only.

Answer 3

A song that was originally made for the Clarinet is "Stranger on the Shore" by Mr. Acker Bilk.
