Clarinets

Why the Clarinets are Awesome: A Saga

The DUMB clarinet section is one of the most close knit sections in the band. The clarinets have continuously grown over the past few years. You could even say that the clarinets are slowly taking over the band. Soon their numbers will expand enough that they will take control of the band, and all brass players will bow before them. They lie in waiting until their numbers are strong enough, waiting for the perfect moment to attack, like velociraptors zeroing in on their prey. Do not let the innocent exterior fool you. This clarinet section will one day rule the world.

On a regular day, you may find the devilishly handsome DUMB clarinets at

COUNTDOWN TO CRAZINESS,playing some tunes in front of the chapel,

or even hanging out after a BOWL GAME!


Overall, the DUMB Clarinets are ~objectively~ the greatest and most talented group of musicians and friends one could ever hope for. If you are searching for inside jokes, section war domination, long lasting friendships, and a plethora of silly pictures, then this is the section for you.

We can’t wait for you to join us! For  more information please contact the 2020-2021 section leaders: Hailey Batista (hailey.batista@duke.edu) and Katherine Li (qingqi.li@duke.edu).
