Sorry, Ralph, I had non of these in mind, when I just pointd to the player list on hornplayer.net
Why not only name the positions: Principal, alternating Principal, ass.Principal, and the remaining members section players or low horn & high horn ? What does "Sub-Principal" mean ? Stands "Sub-" for "subordinated to the Principal" ? If so, then I was right with my earlier arguments, that the section has to follow the Principal.. ##################################################### Am 29.08.2010 um 22:54 schrieb Ralph Hall: > > Ralph R.
