Re: concert preparation habits

The orchestra I play in has a full rehearsal the day of the first concert of the two concert series due to time constraints (we pull it all together in the week before because our conductor is from Europe and we are on the west coast USA). That first concert I am plenty warmed up, so I will usually get my instruments warmed up to pitch and then sit quietly going through the scores mentally. For the performance the next day I do a light practice session early in the day and then a longer warmup before the concert with the same quiet time mentally going through the music.

I find I do much better with the mental warm-ups since it puts me in the right frame of musical concentration.
