Bass clarinetist on the right here, if you saw that look I gave Annie at the end there it’s because SOMEBODY DIDN’T INFORM ME THAT HER BASS HAD A STICKY KEY (we swapped basses)
Good kind bass clarinetists - take a queue from the first player on the right and have *fun* with this, like at 0:22 and 0:53 where you have that legato ("and that ain't all") passage that can be smaltz'ed up. 1:11 where he feels the pain of the whip. Annie at 1:17 that's the spirit ! Sing and swing with the long legato passage. More moments like this! And thanks for sharing.
makes me furious that you have this kinda manpower in your high school. My college band only has 1 normal bass clarinetist. How many kids are in your band??
Bruh we got like 140-160 or something close to that (Unrelated)Litterally all of the tenor saxes in marching band this year (except me ofc) is playing a different instrument in concert season. Litterally me, an oboe player, a bass clarinet player who can't play or march for their lives, and a clarinet player. And for our concert tenors one graduated last year AND THE OTHER ONE SWITCHED TO PERCUSSION LIKE WTFFFFFF But it's okay because our other bass clarinet made all-state last year somehow so the skill level balances out
@@HelloIAmNextToYou Or perhaps Eb contra, as opposed to the larger Bb contra. The Eb instrument can play almost as low as the double bass or the standard range of the BBb tuba.
I play contra alto and I’m new to it, but I’m confused on which parts I play, do I play with the bari saxs? Do I play like alto clarinet but an octave lower? Or do I just play the background or bass clef music
@HelloIAmNextToYou contra alto goes an octave down than the alto clarinet but I'm pretty sure u play with the basses ex:tuba, bari sax, bass clarinet ect.
I love how it’s just a clarinet thing😭 when one of us squeaks, we all eye each other😂
Lmao so true 😂😂
Lol true it always happens once before 😂
Same kinda with saxes
@@jjdjdjdbdrhrhrhfj4668 band kids are js awesome in general lmao
Ikr as a b flat clarinet I just feel mad embarrassed when I squeek

Sorry! 😢
Why'd you swap?
My bass goes down to C, his bass only goes down to Eb, so we switch sometimes so we can both have the low C
@@anniebassclarinet Ah, that's really nice of you!
@@anniebassclarinet you have a low C with that type of neck? I play on a low C and it has the neck of the guy on the right
yeah guys! i'm a first year music teacher and this stuff makes me miss band. hope you all keep having a blast in band :)

A CONTRABASS LET'S GO!!
Contra alto
Not contra bass, contra alto lol

Lets gooo more bass clarinets
I BARELY SEE ANY BASS CLARI CONTENT AND OMG A CONTRA??????????? AHHHHHHHHHHHH
- Bass Clarinet Player
there's a few good bass clarinetists out there, ive seen em
There is a whole gang of low clarinets
Why are they shoulder to shoulder???
Why are you guys so close to each other?
We all wanted to fit in the frame
Bro our school hasnt had a contra clarinet player since 2019 (we downsized since covid)
bro gave her a mean side eye bro
Is that a contralto? (the guy on the left)
I heard a squeak
Selemer contra is so crazy im so jealous
THEY DOUBLE THE TUBA LINE
as an oboe player I enjoyed this
Did the contra alto have its own piece of music or did it use the bari sax part
I had my own part
Pretty sure it plays alto clarinet piece an octave down, but written with same part as BC and bari
I play contra alto and I’m new to it, but I’m confused on which parts I play, do I play with the bari saxs? Do I play like alto clarinet but an octave lower? Or do I just play the background or bass clef music
@HelloIAmNextToYou contra alto goes an octave down than the alto clarinet but I'm pretty sure u play with the basses ex:tuba, bari sax, bass clarinet ect.
@@JohnnyA16 ok tysm for telling!
low clarinet= bass clarinet
dont forget about the contra-alto
Yup

Bro 3?? I'm the only bass clarinet 😭
The one on the left side is not a bass clarinet lol, it’s contra alto
3!?!
No, 2 bass clarinets and the one of the left side is contra alto
Wait you guys have more than one bass clarinet?!? I’m the only one. 🥲
