Is there a way to extract a contiguous subarray of an array in bash?

I want to write a bash script which takes several arguments.
The first argument is mandatory, and is processed separately.
The rest of the arguments are file names which will be processed
in a loop.

So I need to extract the range 2-$# in $@. Can it be done?
Something like the : operator in matlab.

Thanks!
