I completely forgot about what happened whe i was trying trombone and alto sax in seventh grade! More of the cases that hurt me, but the instrument was insid.

So I had to ride the bus, and both of these were after or before the weekend so i ahd both my clari and the trombone or the alto sax.

Trombone: I was getting on the bus and the door was too small to fit me and both instruments. so i moved the tombone behind me and my clarinet ahead of me. Somehow the trombone twisted and got stuck in the door, causing me to fly backwards and nearly fell off the bus steps.

Sax: This time i was getting off the bus. Again i had to hold the sax behind me. Well, it bumped the back of my knee, causing my knee to collapse. somehow i ended up on top of the case and slid down the bus steps and onto the concrete. The impact was painful but I only suffered a skinned knee and a big bruise.

I've had cymbals dropped on my foot, run myself over with the mallet instruments, pinched myself until I drew blood by accident, splinters from the fibreglass xylophone bars that didn't go away for weeks, being crushed by the bass drum on the cart, having my fingers practically fused with freezing cold metal every single fall of my high school career, and the countless times where I've just accidentally whacked myself with my mallets or sticks while being an idiot.

Let me tell you, the splinters and the cymbals-meeting-my-toes were the two most painful of those experiences. Especially since I was wearing sandals in the latter and had no tweezers to fix the former.

Oh, gosh, I don't know how many times.
As a percussionist, you get hurt . . . let's see:

>Drumstick flew up, smacked me in the face
>Mallet poked me in the eye
>My friend pushed me, on accident, into a xylophone (with wheels) and since I caught my balance and leaned on it, it rolled away and I fell smack on the ground
>I banged my fingers in betweed two timpanis
>I struck this ultra loud, special hydraulic thing bass drum EXCTREMELY hard on accident, and it was so loud and effective it knocked me to the ground with a loud ring in my ears ((most painful, and I will never play that weird bass again lolz))

Is that enough? lolz

dont remember how i did it but one time my clarinet almost poked me in the eye. It hit me like not even an inch away from my eye. Also today I was practicing and my wrist started to hurt. Then sometimes the place where I hold my clarinet with my thumb hurts it sometimes. I've been pinched by screws or keys a couple of times too.
Also there are some flutes in my band who have been pinched by their instrument.

I'm in the marching band and I play in percussion with the crash cymbals. When our drumajor calls us to go to check, I choke my cymbals and stay in a certain stance with them choked. Sometimes while going to set, I pinch my left arm and draw blood (a little, not much). Also while playing a song, I do the same thing so sometimes I have to adjust my cymbals so I stop pinching my arm because I'm playing a song, it doesn't hurt though, it's funny when people ask me what happened and I reply with just "Cymbals!" rofl

Well, the first day i had my clarinet i had taken off the reed and was trying to pull off the mouthpice but forgot to grease the corks and i was pulling and pulling until the mouthpiece and barrel came off and i didnt expect it to so it rammed up into the bridge of my nose until i hit my forehead. Oh, and a bunch of times a screw on my clari has been sticking out so my B key wont stick and it scratches me up all over the place. I definitely havent been hurt as bad as a bunch of other people though!
