@coolj411 What's the assignment?

[MissRachaelSkittles]

I love this! Maybe after I'm alot more advanced I can "try" to play some Benny Goodman:) hehe but for now I'm just gonna take some pride in being a 7th grade 1st chair clarinet in Honor Band:)

[mojoman4147]

@MissRachaelSkittles Go for it! The world needs younger players to take up this music. Well done on being in your Honour Band though! I've just started playing trumpet, inspired by my favourite jazz musicians :)

This song inspired me to play the clarinet.

@fritzjazz my age - I feel slightly jealous he had such talent to be so young!

Oh, man! Benny Goodman is my hero man! I'm in eight grade and play clarinet. He inspired me to become a musician. And Rachel Skittles, great job!!! I made All Region and got first chair, too. :D

anyone have a transcription/sheet music for this?

[Onyx6667]

My main instrument is clarinet and I wanted to play it in my High school jazz band but they said I had to play tenor cause clarinets "aren't" jazz instrument..I told them to ask Benny Goodman..I still had to play tenor

[daddysgurl103]

i love playing the clarinet there are so many things that i never knew could be played hopefully i can get to be able to play like this when i'm more advanced but for now i'll stick to playing in high school.

@juancho661 Oh wow... 6th grade was fun and all, but I was SO bored with the music. Maybe the first time I heard it I liked it but after only playing that music for a whole year.... it was VERY boring.

[juancho661]

@MissRachaelSkittles Safely said wait until you get into college level you'd feel like your in the sixth grade all over again...

@ramv36 Marching competitions were much more a focus of mine, and our band always went to State :)

@averyfatsnail12 back when I was way into school band, we had All-Conference, which was regional & chosen from our best members to represent our school, & those judged best there went on to All-State Band. All-Conf participation was at the discretion of your instructor, & you were seated for performance at the main showing by both an ensemble & solo piece you could choose from their approved list. I went All-Conf for a total of 5 years in JH/HS, but never state :(

@LaquimasLinto They're idiots. Many, including myself, consider Clarinet THE jazz instrument, and it was widely considered such until the rise of the sax in jazz in the early 1900's. If you want to join their exclusive jazz group than play sax. If you can play clarinet already, sax is as simple as 'turn the key and go'...at least it was for me. See if they need a tenor sax, that was my favorite, and same scale/key interchangeability applies to it as well.
