Thank you for the tips and encouragement.

We do practice at an excruciatingly slow speed sometimes. I think that may contribute to my tendency to speed things up. I will need to watch that. I will start practicing at home in slow-mo. I do use a metronome but not all the time.
Toe tapping comes completely naturally to me and I don't think I could stop if even if I tried. In fact I get both feet going sometimes - one on the up beat and the other on the down.
Phil: You made me think about it and I realize now my music stand is too low. My head travels up and down quite a bit when I look up to the conductor. I will raise it so I can just move my eyes up.
Another thing I thought about is to sit more in front of my section. That way I would have clarinets behind me rather than saxes and tuba. Next week I will get there a bit earlier to secure a front row seat.
