Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ah, man... right before my very first football game this year, my first field show ever, I set my hat and jacket down on a chair in the band room, went to get my clarinet, came back... and couldn't tell which hat and jacket was mine. sweatdrop I had to get my [ridiculously cute] sophomore buddy to help me look for it. It was awful.

My most emparassing moment just happened last saturday when I tried out for the Arizona Southcentral Regionals.

I didn't practice the etudes at all until the very last minute outside the audition room because I thought that the music looked easy enough. Well and behold, when I stepped into the room, the guy just told me to play my scales and didn't tell me which ones. So I just played what the last person before me had told me to play, my E, A flat, and chromatic scale. (note: I suck at scales and could barely remember either one)

I guessed on the e scale, made up the A flat scale and forgot how high I could go on the clarinet and ended up having to go back up then down the scale.

Then next came my etudes:

By now, I'm a nervous reck and can barely move my fingers and only played my second etude and skipped the first and third etude and did a total kamikaze on the sight reading.


I came out of that room with a beet red face and was sooo embarassed.

during a concert...my foot joint to my flute just slips off in the middle of the conductor's speech...(open hole flute, somereason made wrong, foot joint too heavy) and it fell so loudly, everybody stared, and people started laughing...it was upber formal before that too.

then there was a day or so befre...or told my conductor i wont be able to make the concert (piccolo) and he got mad. the next day, he tells the entire band we won't be able to play a favorite peice be cause a special someone is not able to go. and then he stares at me..and so does everyone else. kyaa!! scary.

hmm i dont really have one... well the most embarassing thing.. hmm uhh.. whenever i take apart my clarinet spit goes everywhere!

I was changing in the drummers room during marching into black shorts for after school practice. Just as I slip off my pants, a guy opens the door. I can hear people in the background going "NO!" we look at eachother and stupidly in a blonde moment of mine, I think, "wow, he's cute." not realizing I was in the process of changing. Once he see's me he turns as red as a cherry. I do too once I remember what I was doing. He quickly turned around and walked out. I was so embarassed! xp redface

It's not mine, but...

We were at our concert/festival (but didn't get rated) and the trumpets started speeding up and TOTALLY ruined the whole piece and Howie (BD) yelled at them later, but I right in the center and all I could see was Howie tring to keep calm. There was one trumpet that got reall embarrased because it was mainly him and he turned cherry red.

after district i'm walking off the stage and my tuba hits a stand and all the stands on the back row fall over like dominoes

i think im the reason we didnt get to state

This wasn't my embarassing moment, but I still found it pretty funny. There was a kid in my grade that joined band and played the Tenor Sax, and he told the new band director that he had been in it the year before when he hadn't. So, he really sucked needless to say. Well, one day in a different class (Career Discovery) he decides to do his lesson plan on how to play the saxophone. So, I'm sitting there across the hall in a different class(reading), hear this really loud squeaking sound that sounds like a scale, so our reading teacher leaves the class, pokes her head into the other room, and asks the other teacher if somethings dieing in there. So, it was embarassing for me, but everyone else got a kick out of it.
