I play in a decent amateur wind ensemble. The players are mostly not music professionals but they are auditioned to get into the group. This is in a medium sized metropolitan area in the U.S.
Last night the conductor announced we would not play a tuning note and just use our ears. I and probably the majority of the players have a good sense of where our instruments should be at various stages of warm-up, so this did not disturb me. I usually don't need to adjust to a tuning note much unless it is higher or lower than what I am accustomed to.
However, as the night went on and no tuning note re-listens were done, the pitch got pretty high.
Has anyone else worked in a situation like this, and what were the results?
