[TPIN] DILEMMA - Playing lead parts?

[Robert V. Robinson]

I had this happen to me a few years ago after playing in a group for only a 
few months.  Oddly enough, it was the former first player who suggested I 
take his place.

I never had much of a problem with it, other than it did feel a little odd 
taking over for someone else.  After a few practices, it didn't feel 
awkward. Now, we trade parts from time to time.  He has a few songs he 
really likes to play first on, so he does.

That said, I don't know if that helps much.

All,


So here is the dilemma:

How do I deal with this?  I don't think he wants me to be the lead but, to 
play his lead parts can I do that?  I don't want to be hated or not accepted 
in the first trumpet section.  I also don't want the other thirds or seconds 
to look at me in a bad light either.
