I really like being one of the older ones in marching band. I know what I'm doing (for the most part), I'm usually not on the hot seat, and I have more 'authority' in decision making.
Most of the way through rehearsal, our director told us to go back to the arc. One freshman's expression was priceless. He was so worried because he didn't know where the arc set was in the show or where to go. Truthfully, I didn't know where the arc set was either, but I know to drift towards the people I know I'm around, and somehow we'll find our set.
The flute section makes decisions in a democratic style. One person makes a suggestion and others affirm or disregard it. I feel like people listen to others' suggestions more, and more gets done. The flutes haven't made T-Shirts (a marching band tradition) for the past two years, but we did this year.
