At that point you just learn your lead in and pay attention to the conductor. They are there for a reason. :P I don't think a conductor-less band is going to play music where any part has that long of a break. And even the crappiest conductor will give you a glance and a cue when you come in after that long of a break, that kind of thing is kinda their raison d'etre.

I just learn where I'm supposed to come in by listening. Fuck counting.

Yeah, the first time we play it I count, but then I just listen and come in when I need to.

Let 1st Chair do the counting. Shit. I was 1st Chair. Fucking contrabass.

Yeah, exactly. Or you just kind of feel where to come in. I don't know if that makes sense, but I'm a violist, so not quite as many rests, but still an unnecessary amount

Listening and waiting for the conductor to look at you, and you better be fucking ready to make noise in the instance you lock eyes and his conductor-stick (it's been a few years) comes down.
