I recall my single year in 'county honor band' as one of two 'second horns' in a doubled up section of eight. The conductor decided in the interests of 'acoustical balance' that the two principal hornists should be seated in the very center of the horn section; As far as I can recall, the concert seating for the 1970 Santa Clara County Honor Band horn section was as follows (from left to right) HORN2 HORN2 HORN3 HORN1 HORN1 HORN3 HORN4 HORN4 best- Rachel __________________________________________________________________ Ralph R.
