Re: Newbie "break" question
Long ago I learned to watch our lead singer when I'm coming out of a break. If he's not going back to the microphone, I know he's forgotten the next verse. That means I continue until I get a nod or something to indicate he's ready. It happens often enough that watching him is routine. On a few occasions, he will throw in an unscheduled break just for the halibut.* He says it keeps me on my toes.

Sometimes they sing on porpoise but most of the time just for the halibut.

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of political correctness, incompetence and stupidity.
