As a former woodwind in TGBFTL, here's how cuts work. 2 scores: playing and marching. Marching is pass/fail. Fail and you're out. Then comes the music playing test. You play a piece and you get a score. They rank the scores and draw a line after the desired number of people. So lets say hypothetically that they want 20 clarinets. You want your son to be in the top 20 on the playing test. Assuming your son is coordinated enough to march, PLAYING TEST is by far the most important.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

This x1000. As a piccolo player facing another possible cut of >50% to the section...tell him to practice his butt off.
There's plenty of practice rooms in the School of Music or Music & Dramatic Arts buildings. Clarinet cuts may not be as bad, but you can't take anything for granted. This post was edited on 7/15/13 at 6:45 pm
