| When a long gig is over most of the guys want to get out of Dodge ASAP. I don't know about you guys, but in our band we take down our own set, and we all share in the work of getting the keyboard and percussion equipment out to the vans.
So my answer is:
1) Put the horn in a case after wiping them down.
2) Help take down the set and load the vans
3) Go home.
4) Go to sleep. (When I was young an adult beverage might have come between 3 and 4.)
5) Play the next day as I would normally play. If it hurts, which it shouldn't if I played correctly during the gig, then I'll lighten up and just do some easy flexibility exercises.
