Curiously the 3 that sit are the guys, and the 3 that stand are the girls!!! I am kind of afraid to ask why they stand! maybe something to do with being a woman... who knows!!!?
Anyway, for the last concert of the season I am the acting principal and we got another girl to fill in. So... now it's me sitting and 5 women standing!!!
In my opinion it just looks wrong. to me it looks a lot more elegant when the bassists are sitting.
Acting principal? Well, as Principal you can ask them each why they are standing. Now you have everyone wondering.

Most of the Female players I have seen sat and played. I think Girls stand and women sit from what I recall over the last few years.

Yes, ask them.. lol..

The Principal must know what's happening in his section and as for 'Acting', rehearse your lines!
