Professional Oboe Dilemma: Oboe Or Clarinet?

K, I’m in grade 8, and started playing the oboe at the beginning of the school year. Up until now, I’ve hated it. Our band director gives us boring parts, We don’t stand out, and the other oboist overshadows me quite a bit. So i was discussing with my director the possibility of switching. He said he would meditate on it. Now, I just came back from band camp, Where i had a private clinic with a professional oboist. She basically made me like oboe. She made me feel important. So now I feel like I want to keep playing the oboe. A couple of days later, My band director told me that if i were to switch to clarinet, I’d basically be section leader. I was good enough on the clarinet last year i didn’t even have to audition for a new instrument. That’s why I’m playing the oboe. But now I can’t decide. Lead clarinet or solo oboist?

Duh. Oboe.

Who wants to play a clarinet made of lead, anyway?!
