This is a bad habit which I am very guilty of myself. For a long time I didn't realize I was doing it, then I played in a local community orchestra and was the only 2nd a few times. My counting sucked! I've been working on it since then, but it's so easy in a band to tag along with everyone else and not count. If you are going to play in groups where you are the only one on a part, such as Eb, chamber music, orchestras, or even a dance band, you need to develop the ability to count and hit your entrances confidently.
