Clarinet is often the largest section, and often fills a similar role to violins in an orchestra. They regularly play the melody.
Because clarinets have beutiful sound.
The B flat clarinet is used most by professionals, concert bands, and orchestras.
All the instruments are tune to the piano. Before an orchestral concert, the musicians will either tune to a note played on the violin by the concertmaster, or an oboist.
I have never heard of that brand, but for marching band you do not need a clarinet that is as good as your concert clarinet. I have two clarinets. One is a nice wooden Yamaha that I use for concerts. The other is a plastic one. I would definitely recommend using plastic for marching band as it will be exposed to the elements.
The general "tuning" note for band is a concert B flat. For a B flat clarinet, this concert pitch is C. For example, when a conductor states "Play a concert B flat," a clarinetist would play the note C. Also, since the clarinet is a B flat instrument, in most cases, any note will be notated a whole step higher than concert pitch.
Clarinets are used in many different ensembles, rangng from Orchestras to swing bands. There are also clarinet choirs where all different types of clarinet play in harmony. Clarinets were also used alot in the Big Band era into the 1940s. Glann Millers Big Band found what it was looking for in the 1940s when a clarinettist joined them.

Unfortunately, your question was poorly written so I cannot understand it, please edit ASAP (as soon as possible). I will assume that you but a space between 'ban' and 'd' and will answer the following : "Is a clarinet band?" which I will assume means : "Is a clarinet set in the key of band?" which I will reformulate to : "Is a clarinet keyed in Concert Key?" In that case, the answer is yes. Clarinet is a 'Bb' instrument, and considering that the majority of songs are set in concert 'Bb', the clarinet, like the Tenor and Soprano saxophone, and the trumpet, play a 'C' on their respective instruments in this case. Reminder: please correct your question, as I will be able to answer it more properly.
