Any Tips!!!!?

Conductors are notorious for "not liking what they hear" chances are it isn't your fault anyways. Band is a very challenging thing, to get several dozens of people to work in unity and expect them to all be on the same page- sometimes I think its to much. If your director is like mine, he is complaining because he wants you to be better, but chances are if your concert is a week away you are sounding great by now. If you are one of those nervous people when you perform in front of your conductors (I can only ever seem to be able to play well when no one else is listening) then try to think ( if you are br) on your next partial or (if you are woodwinds) the next s. If however, you really think its your own personal problem, then I'm afraid that practice is the only way to make it better. What I find that helps is practice for 15 min. on a really hard section, then go do something else and come back to it. It will give it time to sink in to your brain and if you are br your lips a break. Hope this helped! Good luck on your concert!
