It isn't necessarily a good or bad idea. Neither grip is really ultimately better than the other. What you need to decide is if you ever going to audition for any ensembles that will require it. Is it just because you think it's look cool? etc... It is better to have total control over one grip than a little control over both grips.

I am the section leader within my high school as well, and I'm thinking/planning of doing the same thing. From my experience I would ask around to see what everybody thinks of the idea and then go from there
