I was wearing my braille note and had it position so it wouldn't interfere with the cello. And then I tried looking for rehearsal numbers and measure numbers when the conductor said start at measure such and such rather than asking my stand partner. An And, I was able to put in a few Boeing changes in real time. Yes, in real time. Just like the sighted  folks. I've been doing it the other way for so long and if I have a stand partner that can't tell me quickly where the spots are, then I end up having to figure it out anyway. So why not have a little extra confirmation by having my braille note with me and the music Right under my fingers? I will definitely be doing this again on Wednesday. I've done this inquire before but never in orchestra and I'm so glad I tried it.
