This is something that I'm sure eveyone here has had to deal with at one time or another.

Do you self a favor and "Let it go"

Here's how I handled a similar situation not all that long ago. I felt I was better then my chair placement and better then some of those who sat to my right.

Rather then focus on that I focused on the music. As a section player; rather then a lead you tend to see very different music; but not less important.

My current conductor says that a good chord is built from the bottom up. As a third that makes me damn important!

Work to master the music; let your musicianship and not your ego speak for you on this subject.

It will take you much further down the road in later years.
