tuba question:

How many measures rest guarantee that you will either lose your place or fall asleep?

For me, that number is getting smaller all the time.

Last night ... (Persichetti "Divertimento")

Section mate: "He'll have to cue us to come in."
Me: "Just count it."
Section mate: Looks at me like I'm totally insane.

I do count but I still get lost; I must be related to Rick.

1-2-3-4. 2-2-3-4. 3-2-3-4. 4-2-3-4. 5-6-3-4. 6-7-8-9. oh ****!! Been goin' that way for 50 years and I still love playing in orchestras. I'm a good candidate for ritalin or concerta. But I have learned to "hyper focus" when it comes to counting. I may miss the first note, but it will be in the right place.
