It gets annoying and if you are not ULTRA precise, you come off wrong and screw everyone up...

Agreed.
Every year we play this one song where I play like, one measure on xylophone, rest for about 64, then play the melody on bells. Then there's like 18 measures of rest before the song ends. I don't even play more than about 28 measures that entire song.
But it's easy to tell when I'm supposed to play. xD

20 messures seems nothing compared to a song I have.
23 measures rest
rit.
8 measure rest,
repeat the 8
then dead serious 40 messures of rest. Litterally it says 40 on the page.
then 8 measures rest
repeat the 8
then another 23 and then finally a 32 measure rest.
Then there is atchually still time left in the song for me to play.
Caue then I go for x amout of measure then I gots a solo.

I have a really bad one, where I have 60 measures of rest before I even start, then I have to play 6 different instruments (all within the span of 2 measures), then I have another 10 measures of rest, Then I have a Set part, then another 10 measures of rest, then the 6 instr. part already mentioned, and finally after another 20 measures of rest a cymbal crash...

I know exactly what you mean! most of the time when our conducter gose over a peice of music he focuses on the part where there is no percussion at all. Some days we go throgh an intare rehersal with out playing a note.
It so annoying! stressed

Well, with me, if there's a big bar of rest, we put in visuals....
But other than that, yeah, they pretty much suck unless you're a bad marcher or player....
