Who assigns solos for the concert? Player A has been rehearsing a particular solo, but the rest of the section feels it is better suited for Player B.


Initially you are on your honor to divvy up the solos in your own section. If the 3rd year prep conductor and the actual concert conductor haven’t made a particular request, sometimes disagreements arise for a number of reasons. Any such conflicts should be referred to one of the staff managers for your band.
