Memorizing music gives me a 3-D picture of what is going on. I don't count bars of rest, I learn the form and flow of the line, I take musical cues from the orchestra instead of being occupied with myself.
Memorization is key to being REALLY prepared.
Marching band was also my first adventure in memorizing. I had to because I had no music holder for the horn and no money to buy a clip on. Most of those marches are still recallable today, 35 years later..........
