Okay, so I'm in strings and I'm 1st chair of the 2nd violin sections. Well in Pat-A-Pan a cellist starts her solo then the violist comes in with his solo then I come in with my solo then the whole section joins then he 1st violin section joins.
Well, it's a 10measure rest in 2/2 and it's hard to count without getting off tract for me and so I rely on the conductor to cue me. She knows that I rely on her to cue me each time and she did in class and practices and rehearsals. Well, we had 2 concerts in 2 days and the first concert, she cued me like always. The last one, she didn't cue me at all and I was like uh oh. I screwed this one up--cause I wasn't counting as usual. The conductor didn't even tell me that she wasn't going to cue me and my conductor usually cues each time there is a rest that's more than 5 measures long. And so everyone was blaming me for messing it up and all that jazz
But was it totally my fault for not counting or is it also partially the conductors fault for the whole mix up?

okay i'm in band so i think i can help you....lol
i have a concert today and i have a solo.if he doesn't cue me then it is still my fault for not counting. of course he should cue me like he always does, but if he doesn't, then i have to count in order to play in time.
so just count ,because your gonna have to know how to count especially in violin(i also play violin.)just count and you'll do fine.there will be many a time when she won't cue you because sh'e cuing some other section. she probably though that you could handle counting it yourself.you can do it.lol but it was partly your fault.
