Military band terminology

Post by graybach »

I just happened to come across a band roster for the United States Army Band. I have noticed that most of the time principal and section leader are the same in a military band. However, for some sections in some bands, this is not true. Hopefully this question is not too ignorant/stupid: What is the difference between principal and section leader in a military band since they are not always one and the same?
Thanks,
Gray Bach

Come on, there IS no "try"- you either play the music or you don't... :P
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
