I now wear a special bifocal music lens that focuses on the music AND the conductor. I can now tell if he is giving me (rather than the bassoon player) the cue. Been there, done that and got the bifocals ........... and the T-shirt. IMHO, having to see the conductor clearly is just part of the price one has to pay to play in an orchestra. ......... if percussion players could just keep time to the music we wouldn't need a conductor !!
