| I don't believe in sectional seating or ordered seating. The members in EVERY section of my band with parts switch parts on EVERY tune. If you are the 12th best cornet you still have to play first parts on 1/3 of our tunes, and the best player will indeed play the third parts.
I do arrange for one of my best players to play solos on certain selections, but every player needs to play all the parts. It helps give confidence to all sections/parts in my band and it makes every player's worth increase.
So I can't answer which part comes first through last, because it does not matter. Each player is expected to master the part to which he/she is assigned.
