ensemble issues

My being nice and wanting to help out has gotten me yet into another dilema. I play with small ensemble (25-30) and the clarinet section is about 6 members large if all are there. The issue is the guy selected as section leader has chosen to go outside of the normal set up of things, meaning
1st 2nd and 3rd respectively. He has it to where all clarinetist play each of the parts so as not to offend anyone. In most bands Ive played with you had some that played 1st only then your 2nds and then your 3rds and so on. he himself even plays the different parts so all of us are playing 1st on some parts 2nd on some and 3rd on others. Can I have your opinion on this type setup and is it ok or just not right to do it. btw the director doesnt seem to care what part we play so long as someone is playing it.

my computer has reverted back to an old program or something so my current email is not showing up ... 2cekce....drakiej@comcast.net.
