Ok, so I am (no, I'm not being cocky) the best trumpet player in my band! And at Large Group Festival there was a trumpet counter-melody in one of our songs, Hymnsong Variants. For this part only one of the second trumpets and I played. The part called for a mute and I had forgotten my mute in the warm-up room!! eek sweatdrop So before the part started I looked at Ryan and said, "You have to do it on your own!" And he freaked out!! HE DIDN'T PLAY! And EVERYONE in the band listens for that part!! So the saxophones came in early on their entrance which messed up the flutes and we didn't pull it back together until I came back in!! After the competition, needless to say, I was PISSED!! evil So as soon as we left the building I SCREAMED, "UGH! I HATE THE TRUMPET SECTION BECAUSE IF JOE DOESN'T PLAY NOBODY PLAYS!!!!" However for the competition we got a 1 and two 2's. neutral sad I'm sure that if I HAD my mute or if I just told Ryan to give me his we would have done SO MUCH BETTER!
Any disaster stories like, or worse, than this? Please... SHARE! cool

Umm... yeah, that's nothing. A 1 and two 2s for your rating? We got three 4s. We had three people that didn't play at all. Not because they couldn't, but because they refused to. Dragged the rest of us down. We might have made a three overall otherwise.
We really don't have enough people to blend well, so we always get low ratings... it sucks. That's what, a two overall for you? That's good... don't beat yourself up over that. Beat yourself up when you get the kind of ratings we get. sweatdrop

Hmm. This one time we were doing a sight reading, and most of the flutes played A instead of Ab. ^^; It called for a concert Eb major.
Just our luck. We still got Superior.

My best freind in the world plays french horn; she had a solo in this really pretty song we played last year, the name has slipped my mind. The only other instruement playing during the solo is the bass clarinet and all it does are whole notes. After warm-up we had to walk outside and into the auditoriom to play. While we were walking to go to the auditorium some stupid are playing around and bump into her and her french horn goes flying out of the hand. We recover the french horn with no serious damage except HER MOUTH PIECE IS MISSING!!!!. We want to search around for it but we have to perform in like a minute. SO we run inside and we don't even have a chance to tell our band director about the mouth piece issue and the only other french horn player that we have hasn't even looked at the solo!!!!! So we start playing and it comes for the solo our band director looks at my freind is like going crazy trying to point out that she has NO mouthpiece; and the judges definitly noticed that but inthe end we got a two on the song, go bass clarinet.
