3. Clarinet
-difficulty level (the higher the score the harder it is to play well and march while doing so): 1
-weight (the higher the score the heavier or more awkward it is to hold and play while marching): 1
-competition level (the lower the score the higher demand of instrument players): 2
Total score: 4
Players with fingers that can stretch far apart are ideal for the clarinet, the third on our list of 7 hardest instruments to learn to play in a marching band. But apparently it may be difficult to get into a marching band, so try an orchestra instead.
