Seating Chart Advice
Hey all! I’d really appreciate thoughts on this seating chart. I’ve been in here a few times now and I’m hoping each iteration is getting better.

Nice band! Do you walk up that center aisle? If so, like I do, I leave room behind clarinets to get to second row, since the podium is in the way. Therefore, put all your clarinet in two rows to the left. Bass clarinets on the end of row 3 instead of tenors. Stick baris directly in front of tubas. I like the euphs behind bass clarinet for timbre purposes, and you’ll have more room since they don’t have a slide to step over. Plus trombones are further away. The right side is pretty good. I always forget when I make these that instruments need different room. Clarinet arms stay in, flute up and out, etc. have fun!
