Thanks for posting. I love this march. Just out of curiosity, why do these groups not march with clarinets? I have been wondering this for many years. Is there a reason why these bands decided not to include clarinets in their instrumentation? Thanks.
Hi Cameron,....Clarinets and other wood instruments belong to a symphonic orchestra We are a Marching and Show Band,....the instruments are from origin are played in a Brass Band,.....;-) I don't know exactly the reason why they ever choose for the Brass instruments ,...maybe it was taken over from the American Drum Corps
@@wimkruit1958 hi Wim, I know the reason. Older marching bands had trouble with the clarinets because they tended to swell up by colder more humid weather and they shrunk with warm dry weather. So the clarinets went out of tune really fast. Thats the explanation they gave me when I played in a fanfare. Now I play at Tamarco Leiderdorp and they have clarinets, I suppose its easier to tune the instruments nowadays so clarinets can function as well as the brass instruments.
Weer die 2 laatste rijen.
Ze leggen wederom een mooi fundament waar de rest op kan boewen.
