A top notch big band is easy to direct because they know what they're doing, even if you don't. Imagine walking in to face a really crappy middle school band, filled with hormonal, hyperactive teenagers who can barely play, and a big stack of scores you've never seen before. Then imagine doing that every day of your working life. If you're a high school band sub, that's your day, everyday. You got off easy, man.
