ok, so i sit next to this one girl who is obsessed with always getting 1st parts when we play music, but being in a jh band, we don't get many of those, and when we do, we don't even do try outs, the ones the bd thinks are good get 1st and everyone else gets 2nd or 3rd etc. so anyways.... we have this one piece of music and instead of being split up in different parts, there's the high part and the low part on the same page. our student teacher teaches us most of the time right now, and instead of consulting our bd, she just asked who wanted the high part, i didn't raise my hand because i already have 1st chair on our other songs, but the girl who sits next to me raised her hand, but our student teacher wouldn't let her. this girl started CRYING and WHINING!!!!! so our student teacher gave her the part. this girl is not very good at playing the high notes, to be frank, she's not good at playing the high notes at all. i can hear it and so can everyone else, plus, she doesn't actually hold out the notes, she just breathes every other note! i know this shouldn't annoy me, but it does, it's really bringing the sound of the band down... our student teacher is probably too scared to tell her, and our bd either doesn't notice, or doesn't hear because he's in his office a lot. what do i do? should i just tell her to practice? should i tell the bd?? or am i just being aloof and overreacting? what do i do? !!! pls help! thanks!

I'd ask your director what to do. If it's possible to talk with this girl about how you're feeling about it, do that first, but I've been in a similar position and I know that can be a weird thing to talk about.

Yeah, I tried talking to her about it today and she said, "Whatever! I'm good enough or they wouldn't have chosen me!" so I just backed off, but she still wasn't good! should i really go to my bd?
