When playing with others it's key that you have the bandleader in your peripheral vision around the turnaround (around the end of measure 10). This is where the signal will: go to you to solo, be made to signal a break; or be made to end the song. You don't need to look up, just have your eyes open and make sure you can see their body movement. This is key for all members of the band.
