Two clarinets get in an argument but are then calmed down by a bass clarinet. Saved by the power of friendship.

[@Rose-em4jr]

As a clarinetist, this is actually really funny because in my band, the bass clarinetist actually solves a lot of our problems 😭 Edit: news update. The bass graduated. I became the only bass and I for some reason solve the problems now-

Fr fr the clarinets are like this chillest people in our band. However, if this were “Two Percussionists get into an Argument”, things would descend into pure madness.

[@crankyreed]

As a clarinetist, the ending is accurate, we're usually pretty chill. If this were "2 Trumpets Get in an Argument" it would turn out much differently.

[@ryanmckennamusic]

Lol yes

[@mr.h1083]

As a trumpet player, I agree.

I would love to play this with my two best friends for solo and ensemble if that's okay. I'll have to change it a little as one friend plays flute but I can easily transcribe it. The other parts are fine as our group is me bass clarinet/ t. sax, a clarinet, and flute. I had a huge smile on my face the whole time watching it, its so silly.

[@ryanmckennamusic]

This is 100% accurate. In my school’s orchestra we knew not to mess with the woodwind section as they were the toughest of the toughest and the meanest of the mean. Nobody was sure why, or how, but they knew how to hurt someone with a toot of fury.

@@ryanmckennamusic I might be able to replace it one day. Though it probably won’t be as special to me. The one I lost was my first one. It was made of black oak and my grandmother was the one who got it for me. I had that clarinet from the 5th grade all the way up to a few years after I graduated high school. I loved the sound it made, it was always tons of fun learning new songs too. So I’ll definitely try to get another clarinet someday when I can afford to, but I’m always gonna miss that one if that makes any sense. Lol
