#sectionleaderprobs

When members of your section step and help make your life easier while being the only section leader before they pick a new one.

When your fellow section leader is injured early in the season and for a while, you’re the only leader for a section of 28.

When you’ve graduated and you visit band camp and the new assistant section leader, the only responsible one left, is bawling her eyes out begging you not to leave because the new section leader, your old assistant, isn’t doing their job and the section won’t take the assistant seriously and before you can contain yourself your Mom™ self comes out and you roast the section leader and maybe threat to fight them if they don’t straighten up. You know. Just Section Mom things. Ser

When the freshman in your section are overall better than some of the juniors

When you don’t have an ounce of swing in your body, but are chosen to return to your alma mater and teach your former section an entirely swing show.

Juniors taking over sectionals because they want to be Section Leader.

When you’re Trumpet™ section leader, but second chair, only girl, and only a sophomore so the freshmen don’t listen.

Trying to resolve a fight between section leaders, and then starting a fight over how to solve it.
