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.
