 Re: community groups - who should be principal and do we care?

I think it does matter who plays first. I used to play in a community band where the lady playing first was just terrible. She could not handle the music. Since all of the music we played in that group was orchestra music arrange for symphonic band a lot of the music was difficult. I was playing 3rd clarinet and e-flat clarinet. It just kill me everything when she could play the music. I just wanted to jump in to first part but since she had been in that group since the band was started she was going to be first chair for ever. And she is the type of person that will only play first.

I know 3 or clarinet players that stop attending the group just because of her. I think that this type of issues need to be resolve by the conductor. Because if the conductor does not like the playing he should say something about it.

3dogmon, I think you should have a meeting with the conductor and the other clarinet player and talk about what are the expectation of the music and the group overall. I think that if you stay and keep playing 2nd that will put some pressure on the 1st clarinet player to actually practice more or just to simply give the seat to you.
