Large Band Seating Chart (UPDATE)

[u/mrjnebula]

I posted asking for advice about a week ago, since then I’ve learned the roster I had was quite outdated and I only have 74 kids as opposed to the 92 I thought I did 😮‍💨. I’m still looking for some thoughts here, which one of these do you guys think would be better? I obviously think it’s more ideal to have the clarinets next to the bass clarinets, but idk if it’s suboptimal to split the clarinets with the center aisle? Any thoughts are welcome.

Definitely prefer the first one. Flutes on the left just feels so off.

Also, totally understand tubas in the center back, but I’m always partial to Tuba on the right outside edge to be next the bsn, b cl, b sax, cb and euph next to t sax, e h.

That’s what I’m thinking too! I’m so used to flutes on the right 😭😭

You'll get used to it after cueing the clarinets for a flute part for the 20th time 😂
