| I guess if they want a good second player, they should be asking for difficult second trumpet excerpts.......
Otherwise they will get a second trumpet player who really wants to be a lead player, and he/she will make the current lead player's life miserable.
I read a quote one time from a famous principal player (whose name escapes me at the moment). He said his idea of the "perfect" second trumpet player is someone who was NOT looking for a principal position.
Bam, which orchestra was this?
