Today I was playing a street festival with the Afrobeat/Funk/HipHop group I am a part of, and after our set, the other horn players and I were asked to sit in with another band playing later in the day. We decided to take them up on it, and we played the entire set with them. It easy, and a lot of fun; the band would nod at one of us when we could take a solo, and I got to play in almost every song. The only problem was, after the second song, I had to plead to the other horn player for a pair of ear plugs, because this band was pretty damn loud. Thankfully, he had an extra pair, and I was able to play the rest of the set, which I would never have done without them. I hate playing with ear plugs, because I have no idea how loud I am, of have to be, and it makes it extremely hard to communicate with the other horn players.
Is wearing ear plugs something I can get used to? Is it something I should get used to? Could you guys give me some advice for getting used to it?
I was also invited to come to rehearsals and possibly feature gigs, and I don't know whether or not I want to take them up on it. Any advice there?
I'm sorry about all the questions in this post, any input is welcome. I hope I posted this in the right section.
