first orchid show this weekend--advice??

[Im Just Saying]

I'm glad I found this thread (been on hiatus for awhile), I will also be attending my first orchid show in 3 weeks and now I'm a bit nervous... After a rough summer last year I lost 7 of my 9 phals through various mistakes of mine and my dear husband whom attempted to care for them while I was out of town. Now that I have kept 2 alive and growing (believe it or not, I know I'm shocked too haha) for almost a year I want to add a couple more to my sad collection. Hence my nervousness...

So big orchid show + no new orchids in over 9 months + sad collection + weekend I get paid + orchid-aholic = I'm not sure but can't be good OR awesomeness

On a serious note any suggestions for dendrobiums or oncidiums for someone wanting to branch into something new? i.e. Something hardy and forgiving? Or is that too much to hope for?
