One of my composition students just gave our symphonic band a piece that had
some double low E's for the horns in bass clef. I tried to warn my student;
my less experienced students who have mostly band experience expressed some
anxieties about the low pedals, and admitted they didn't even know those
notes existed.

While I have rarely seen pieces composed /for/ band that call for French
Horn in bass cleff, my school's Wind Symphony has played tons of
orchestral arrangements where the fourth, and even third, horns play
more than half of the time in bass clef. An example of such a piece
