#sectionleaderproblems

When there’s one newbie who thinks they’d be a better section leader than you so they try to direct the line and just end up repeating what you say.

When you’re at band camp and you are acting like the parent. Making sure they stay hydrated, have sunscreen on, etc. But they all love you anyway because you bring the best treats for breaks aka apples, granola bars, and lemonade.

When your the section leader but you’re the only one who can’t run fast during warm ups

When it’s not marching season but you still have marching season responsibilities including getting your section to bingo but they won’t DO IT so you get yelled at by the band director but there’s nothing you can do.

When someone thinks that you don’t deserve to be section leader because you’re younger than them.

When you’re drum major so *everyone* is your section

When all the other people in your section are just better musicians and your tech always bugs you about it.

When only one person, besides you, can play your section solo part.
