Like Mr. Sanders said, Cello sections DO seem to have more fun. All the cello sections I've been in have been great- not the backbiting, competitive, ego-ridden things that I've seen in violin sections. When I was an undergrad, our cello section was a giant happy family, we had regular parties and activities, and all the other sections were jealous. They couldn't figure out how ALL of us (I think we had 12 at the time) were such good friends. Ha! They'll never understand! They just have to suffer and wonder why their sections can't be like that.
Instead of competing for the first stand, we would always fight over who got to sit in the back-- because you could tell more jokes back there and get away with it!
Aaaaah...cello sections can be fun....
