 Re: Help! Band director doesn't understand the value of sectionals!

From my observations/experience with both HS and college level groups, I have seen many cases where rehearsal time is set aside for sectional time and the section leaders/sections simply use it as "chat and hang out" time. I'm not saying that this would be the case with your section, or even all of the other sections in your band, but I would wager that it is quite likely.

I wonder if this is why your director has chosen to eliminate sectional time in favor of large group rehearsal time? Most likely the new clarinets will make progress simply from playing in rehearsal, but if not I would also put faith in your director that he will notice their weaknesses and address them appropriately. I would also guess that the freshman clarinets are not the only new players to the band that are in the same boat, so my advice is just be patient with it and the problems will most likely work themselves out, whether it happens via sectionals or some other form of instructional time.
