Here's something that will help. Besides practicing your pit band music, get some sheet music to tunes you know well. Learning to read a tune you know speeds up the ability ti acquire notes on sight. Don't be too concerned with rhythms at first, learn to read every note first. After a few sessions reading notes, start with simple rhythms, work your way up to complex parts.
If you feel energetic, get a couple of beginner and intermediate drum books, they concentrate on rhythms, sorts things out while getting used to the figures, so you''l get to know how the syncopated lines look.
