Usually, a
bass clarinet player is a misunderstood, but very useful instrument in a band. Higher than a
bari sax, but lower than a
tenor sax, the bass clarinet player is the median in a low reed section. Not too high, not too low.
Band Director 1:We need more bari.
Bd 2:We need more tenor.
Bd 3:Nah, both would be over-kill. We need something in between.
Bd 1:We could add some bass
clarinets player...
All:YES!

tubas suck, so what do we do? Add more bass clarinets.
