Also remember that following the conductor is a skill which you must learn. When we are kids we play in the school band so from day one the skill of following the conductor is practiced. When we learn as an adult or relearn we usually do it alone. I was absolutely lost the first time I played in a group after a 40+ year break and 7/8 and 9/8 didn't help a whole lot. Playing with a metronome helps.

When sight reading in a group I use the following little rule, always play the first note of a measure, try to play the first note of each beat, play all the notes if you can, don't get rattled and don't get lost.

It is better to miss a note then to play on a rest. Or is it?

A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
