I'll just add my 2 cents worth. As Jonathan noted, listening with at
least one part in hand is helpful (a score in hand is even better), but
I would take some time to actually look at all of the parts. Not
practice, just look. Things that I look for are clefs, transpositions
and key changes, awkward fingering passages (figure them out and write
them in), long passages without rest (and spots for breathing), and
anything that looks melodic or counter melodic. I also scope out high
and low notes and figure out how I will get up to or down to the
necessary register (or do I have to make a high soft entrance without a
net). Once you've spotted the problem passages in all of the parts,
just take some time to read them over with horn in hand. I'd say you
won't learn everything this week, but you can certainly be prepared.
