Same thing happend to me yesterday, just blew a tune up note and marched 
right on into the numbers selected to play on Sunday Morning.

The initial bobbled note came just before the tune up note.  2 in all

Got several compliments on my accompaniment which I played several phrases 
extemporaneously as the arranger really made a chinzi part for 'bone

I had that experience again yesterday (Sunday).  Mind you, I had a 2  
hour brass choir rehearsal on Friday.  My Saturday consisted of  
playing the largest fall commencement in our school's history that  
morning, a 3 hour symphony rehearsal that afternoon, and a 2 hour  
symphony concert that night.  Needless to say, I got in my requisite  
face time.  I even had a solo on "Christmas Time is Here."  Jeans 'n  
Classics were our guest artists.  Fun concert (sort of rock 'n roll  
and sorta classical.... yeah, right).

Needless to say, when I picked up the instrument on Sunday afternoon  
-- that first note felt like it had the night before.

We don always need no steekin' warmup.  And it feels GREAT when we  
don't!
