I expect that it depends on the conductor.
Better be prepared to count lots of rests!

Last time I played this, we took all repeats.
I got quite good at mental addition, trying to add up how many measures you rest before entering.

I think it's 571 bars.
The Boston Symphony did it for the closing of the Tanglewood season and they didn't take the repeat. When I did it, we did take the repeat.
The Principal was totally winded at the end of the concert with all those high notes (on his King 3B).

I have performed it twice, both times different. I was wondering if there was a standard.

Yes, there are some definite big ones. The group I play in does two rehearsals and the concert, so I try to come armed with as much information as possible to rehearsals. We are also doing Festive Overture and a concerto on this concert, so we won't be getting a lot of time to figure things out be repetition.

There are cues and false cues. You can learn to distinguish between them. I spent some time listening to the movement with my part in front of me.
A kindly conductor may give you a cue.

Not sure what false cues are. There are a lot of G.P. and that fermata thing with dotted rhythm that the horns and tpt play.

Listen to the music. You'll see what I mean.

I have listened, score studied and played the music. I guess I just don't understand BGuttman speak.
