. . .it was obvious. One niece played sax in the marching band but bass clarinet in the orchestra band, so that made sense.

The other niece played viola and now plays string bass in HS. It made sense that she wasn't going to be in a marching band with a stringed instrument.

I'd have to ask them if they saw what you're describing. Not saying it didn't. Just that when they were slotted, it made complete sense.
