How to be a good (not annoying) section leader?

Author: emily1031

So, a bit of background.

I'm an incoming sophomore, and I'm now section leader for my schools advanced wind ensemble clarinet section. I'm gonna be blunt, and I don't mean any of this in an arrogant way -- I've been the best clarinetist at my school since my first day of high school, I made Allstate, got the highest score at districts, big whoop. Anyways, I would love some tips on how to make my section closer-knit, and sound better, without making some annoying ass out of myself. Two of my best friends are also in the section, and there's another sophomore, a senior (not too happy that I am section leader), and a junior. Last year during sectionals, I literally got NO respect, not many people would listen to me, neither did my best friend in the section, who was also a very talented freshman.

Id love to do some outside-of school sectionals, maybe have a day where we got froyo and hung out, idk, just something to make sure that we connect and bond and have fun.

How can I make sure that we can be the best section we can without annoying everyone in the section? I don't want to be annoying or anything.

Thank you!
