The Lolwut Pear Well, in my experience, dropping a flute would take a lot of effort and lack of grace, but it is fun to see/hear a trombone slide slide off someone's trombone every other day. Ah, the memories lol. Being an amateur trombone player and sitting in front of a person you hate is a very good mix for you. I 'lost' my slide every other day myself.

I've always felt bad for trombonists who lost their slides, it seems like something that would bother me.
Flutes can be dropped if they're in a faulty case. My case broke open and my flute dropped on the sidewalk. It was really close to physical pain. Now it's getting repaired but the school concert in Jan. 12, so it's really stressing me out.

Heh, suddenly I want to play trombone and sit behind this one person who caused be grief in the past. : P
And speaking of cases, when I first got my flute, I opened the case wrongly and some pieces fell out, but I don't think that would classify as dropping an instrument. D: And hopefully your flute will be repaired in time for the concert, there's nothing worse than using an old, crusty standard school instrument replacement.

As a trombonist, I've not only dropped the slide on the track, getting sand in it, I've also dropped the trombone while messing up the slide in the process.
Fun times~

If someone drops their instrument, and our BD sees, you have to do push-ups. If you fall on the ground while doing push-ups, you have to start-over. I dropped my trumpet once. Fortunately, the BD didn't see. But then again I have this dent on the side. But it doesn't really matter. My trumpet is rusty anyway. You can barely see it. whee

Well, dropping the instruments in our band is a big deal.
But we don't have to do pushups, unless the section leaders make the players push.
I dropped my clarinet a couple years ago during concert band, and the left keys bent.
I managed to fix it just a little but they still aren't the same.
Before a concert one night, my friend's bari sax dropped while he was away (it was sitting on a chair). The bell was bent, and one of the snare drummers bent it back. Looks like nothing happened.

Some people just like playing for a hobby, I guess.
Either that or she's naturally a day dreamer and clumsy (like myself).
I even dropped my guitar numerous times.

Mokiba Some people just like playing for a hobby, I guess. Either that or she's naturally a day dreamer and clumsy (like myself). I even dropped my guitar numerous times. no she's just clumsy, really. From what I've heard her playing it hasn't sounded like she practices alot, and gets stuff done. I also might have to deal with her next year because she'll be a freshmen, I'll be a sophmore, so I get to boss her around just a tad, but usually i'm not the type of person to do that.

This isn't exactly dropping it, but this one time during marching band, I was playing with my flute. You know, swinging it lightly between hands, but very carefully. Suddenly, the head flew off and landed a few feet away. I almost screamed.
Luckily, the head turned out mostly okay.

I played a keyboard at a concert once and the stand broke. Luckily it was for a low-budget garage band and nobody gave a care, but it scared me quite a bit.
There was one guy in my high school band that dropped a rubber ball on a timpani in the middle of a piece. It was in the middle of a performance, too. The director was furious.

Having to do this sword slash thing with your flutes during marching band.
Half of the flute section's head joints came out and landed, not on the grass, but on the concrete.
lol
Tape comes in handy then.
Fixed all head joints with a drum stick.
Band directors are so smarticle.
