Francis,
In my experience, it's usually before the big solo I have to count the
bars rest. No names (and you are an honourable exception) but I have
several times had good first horns turn to me and say, "Where are we?"
I take my job seriously enough not to resort to facetious replies
like, "The Festival Hall", or,"The Albert Hall" or even,"The
Philharmonie".
Apropos, I used to find myself as a school boy nodding off on the bus
home after a hard day, and jerk awake counting,"Seventy one, two,
three; seventy two, two, three etc....." What a sad childhood.

Its just a sort of "red haze" really, as I'm sure you notice when
you end up having to count bars for Principal horn players after the
big solo!
