as a senior this year i was assistant flute section leader,last year i was section leader.At the end of the year banquet i had to announce he 14(now 15) year old who got my position without applying for it.when i asked the director why he told me "its not something you did wrong,or could greatly improve on,she's just better than you"
this year i have been nothing bt gracious with her and i dont blame her for the BDs failings but her and the rest of the leadership(which 3/4 is younger than me) provide no leadership,often they are the problem,then in front of the band they undermine authority when i try to do what needs done,so finally i after one occurence i simply walked out and handed in a letter of resignation.I have never been so happy because finally i have controll over my position in band.
My question, did i betray the band? does it make me a quitter? I did what was best for me but im afraid that the BD will hate me because i gave up,i dont want backlash from him.
