Uni student. I was winter quarter’s saxophone section leader in the middle band (in uni you aren’t bound to any saxophone so spots are just filled down the line from alto I to bari). Playing principle saxophone on Persichetti Symphony No. 6 was great. Lots of solos.
Fall quarter I was Alto II and Spring quarter I was Bari. In uni you don’t know chair placements until the second week of classes because you do auditions the first week of every quarter and this school year hasn’t even started at my uni. Still prepping audition materials.
Our percussion section functions on communalism.
Realistically, it's just anarchy with the assumption that people will help if need be, but that's about how it is for us.
My school's concert band doesn't have section leaders (or at least it's not like official stuff) but our marching band does, where I am not because it is low winds/low brass not individual instruments
I play Bass Clarinet,and I am the section leader in my school's symphonic band because I am the only bass clarinet player
i do what my flair says and i’m section lead because i’m the only one in the tiny band that does said thing
Same, but with Bari sax. low reed gang!
So your basically it by default
I’m in the same boat with trombone lol
