With the marching band season coming up, I've been looking for an alternate to taking my brand new wooden clarinet outside. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a high quality plastic clarinet that is appropriate for an intermediate player?

You Mean Theres PLASTIC CLARINETS. Wow I learn Something everytime i go here. Well I would use a student clarinet or a cheap imitation of a very expensive clarinet. Just make sure it doesn't play cheaply.

Non-wood clarinets have been around for quite a while. They even made them out of steel in the 40's. Non-wood clarinets today are made of a composite material similar, but not like plastic, therefor they get a better sound than the original plastic clarinets. They are also made like wood clarinets (the process) so they closer resemble the sound of good wood clarinets.
Some good brands: Yamaha, Selmer, Evette,. There are others. Go to a reputable music dealer and look around and play some. Considering your situation, I would not get a new one, but a good used one.
