In my opinion, the first chair clarinetist is usually the section leader. The can be in charge of sectionals but also tuning the band. There is usually no difference between the first and second chair clarinetist except for playing ability. That is unless they are playing a different part. If the 2nd chair clarinet is playing a different part...there is your difference.
