Yes. I usually don't know where I am going to end up positioned. Due to tight space on stage the first violins were down in front of the stage and the 2nd's sort of got squished into single file on stage.. We are generally not assigned seats/ During the dress rehearsal a few days before I ended up all the way in front but in the concert I ended up in the back next to my friend who is on clarinet. Thanks for the complements on the performance. We eventually plan to play the entire symphony.
