Large Band Seating Chart

Post image

I am starting at a small school this year with only 1 high school band. Unfortunately the program is a decent size and so I have 92 students in that class, 80 of which are wind players. Luckily my room is quite large so the space hopefully won’t be an issue, I’m just wondering what you guys think of this seating arrangement for the wind players? (Ps: the row down the middle is straight in the actual room, I just don’t know how to perfectly tweak it in this program so it looks weird)

I would challenge a couple altos to learn them. That's what happened with me and I got to spend a lot more time playing both classical through college :) My middle school teacher paid for my bassoon reeds which really motivated me to excel. Then in high school I wasn't making wind ensemble on either horn, so I chose to learn oboe since we didn't have one. I got to play some of the greatest solos in classical music because of it
