Great advice all.

About the only thing you can do to prepare for sight reading in an ensemble is know your scales and arpeggios backwards and forwards.

If the group is playing rythmically "interesting" pieces, just hang on and subdivide - you'll understand what the patterns mean eventually.

The read ahead is a great piece of advice, but I must admit that its a hard skill to master: read ahead - memorize the next measure - look at director - OK where was I? Its well worth the effort - it will improve your ensemble playing on many levels.

Whatever you do don't give up - just keep up the best you can.
