There is a vort from the Vishnitzer (Emrei Chayim) on the possuk צו את בני ישראל וישלחו מן המחנה כל צרוע וכל זב וכל טמא לנפש that when there is a gathering, צוותא conducted properly with צהלה ורנה then all tumut of the soul are able to be washed away.
The parsha starts נשא את ראש בני גרשון גם הם. Why are they secondary and why is נשיאת ראש mentioned by Kehas and Garshon but not Merrari? In light of this vort we can explain. The word Garshon means those that are divorced, driven out. That's why they carry the outer parts of the mishkan, the יריעות. They can also be elevated by joining in, גם הם to the Kehas, those that are gathered close to Hashem ,carrying the vessels of the Mikdash. However, that is provided that they are willing to come and join in a joyous manner. That that are bitter, Merari, they will not be able to be raised for they can't join in the simcha of the merry band.
