Alright...this is a pretty stupid thing to get angry about. But it pisses me off sometimes.
I'm in Chorus at my school. I'm a Soprano 2. There are four sections in my Chorus Class: Soprano 1s, Soprano 2s, Altos and Men. Men, only because there are so few of them. ._.
Anyway...whenever we get a song, we split it into parts. The Soprano 1s always, ALWAYS get the melody. And for some reason, the Soprano 2s always get the really crappy, depressing, hard to remember parts. It could be a really happy, upbeat song...and we get the depressing sounding part. As if that weren't bad enough, the Soprano 1s always give us that 'We're better than you and we know it' look. Then when we have to sing all the parts together, we get messed up because they sing the melody too loud and it throws us off...and look at us like it's our fault.
Yeah. We know you're super fantastic...how 'bout toning it down a notch, there so the rest of us can try and get our parts right.
Yep. It's stupid. It's petty. It's completely random. And I hate it.

Are you in Advanced Choir? Because that's how it was split up at my school, but only in advanced choir.
I took intermediate choir, & I'm an Alto. The Sopranos(they were all grouped together in this class) always got the pretty parts... except on the End-Of-The-Year songs. cool The teacher said we kicked a**. Literally, she said that.

I have a man voice.
I'd definitely be an alto...but like on the low side.
LAWLZ.
I was in the school musical freshman year.
And I was all set to be Snoopy 'cause I'm good at acting.
...Until they heard me sing.
I got stuck on chorus. gonk

I share your pain. When I was in choir, first off, I was placed in a baritone section. There were only two guys in the choir, me and my friend, and we both got baritone parts.
I can't hit baritone notes. I'm a bass. She just didn't want to pay an extra ten effin' cents per sheet music so I could sing my own part. So, she'd scream at me when I couldn't get things right as a baritone, and it was all her goddamn fault!
Plus, the bass's and altos would always have the melody. The baritones sang harmony, and I sucked at it. I hated it!

I'm in band, but it sounds similar with the flutes vs. saxophones.
Flutes = melody
Saxes = whole notes
I play the sax

I did band for five years in elementary school and middle school.
The middle school band was sort of like that. I was usually a second row flute (harmony, while first row got the melody. Harmony is easier and basically you have to be pretty good to make it to the first row).
In 7th grade and 8th grade I was a first row flute, but I was always second-chair to a really snobby British boy who was a flute genius. I couldn't harp on him too much about his girliness to actually LOWER himself to a flute, but he was extremely athletic and one of the most popular kids in the grade, so yeah.
Grin and bear it, I guess? Maybe you'll be a Soprano 1 one day and then you can teach the other Soprano 1s to tone it down a bit and let the Soprano 2s come through.
