  • Remember to practice your music - full rehearsals alone will not create a good performance.
  • Number your music and mark all key changes, accidentals, special dynamics, etc.
  • Attend all rehearsals with a sharpened pencil on your stand.
  • Go through the music and be sure you have all required mutes, etc.
  • Be sure you have plenty of extra reeds, valve oil, etc.
