I can't control myself any longer from asking this question, after reading all these suggestions about the irritating clarinet player.
The question: What bugs you the most about playing in an amateur ensemble? For me, it is the conductor who is happy to see anyone walk in with a French horn, and welcomes them without auditioning them or questioning them about their playing ability. Often these are ex-trumpet or ex-trombone players, or ex-French horn players just returning to playing and have no embouchure development. Somehow these "hornists" think it is just fine for them to join the horn section when they can't play or can barely play. Why is it that possessing a French horn gives these folks such immediate chutzpah? I have resorted to much complaining to the conductors over this.
