Dear John,
When you get to the gig, keep your mouth shut and
your smile working. Ask questions but not too many,
learn who you should trust, and introduce yourself
to your "leader" (conductor, band director, concert
master, whatever).
Don't tell anyone anything that you wouldn't want
repeated and seek out new friends immediately. They
will help you adjust better.
Oh, and don't make anyone angry. The first impression
you make in a group will last. You will be working
for/with them for a lonnnnng time.Farah
