Re: Pre-concert routine

I've made an effort to not require a detailed routine as I generally have to drive at least an hour (usually 2) before a concert.

I do a couple of things to make this easier:

I make a point to eat a couple of hours before the concert. This way I'm not overly full but still have enough energy to play. I try to drink lots of water too. If you do this it's also helpful to know the location of the rest room nearest to the stage.

I arrange the reeds in my reed case from hardest/most resistant to softest/least resistant, so if the one I pick initially isn't quite right, the one next to it usually is, and I don't have to try out 6 different reeds. I make a point to NEVER adjust reeds after I get there.
