orchestral relationship dynamics that i like

-when the 1st violins and cellos have a lyrical melody together (you know...with the cellos shifted up) -the boom - chick rhythms between 2nd violins and violas (and basses too!) -when viola and cello sections have a melody feature!! -the knowing stare of everyone in the orchestra when in rehearsal the conductor has to work with only the 1st violins -when 1st and 2nd violins have similar melody parts but the 2nds are rocking a cool sounding harmony -the viola, cello, and bass section when they have rhythmic parts that interact with each other

I have a really bad habit that whenever we have a sub in Orchestra (they never know anything about Orchestra and drive me insane) I offer them my viola to play whatever we're playing. When they then say "I don't play the violin" I look them straight in the eye and go "Neither do I". I think I'm a bad person
