Band / Orchestra Musician

Your day begins with a two-hour individual practice session on your instrument, then a three-hour ensemble rehearsal where the conductor works section by section on tempo and dynamics, you attend a sound check at a performance venue in the evening, warm up backstage, and perform a two-hour concert for an audience of a thousand.
