Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hilarious, Heitai. xD Alas, I hear you in playing in class.... that other guy's not the only one who sounds like a dying something... xDDDD

Just kidding.

*gleam* You've been served.

lol... let me think... going on stage and then the light system failed so we were sent into pitch darkness, then i hit a stand and the lights come on just as you see all the stands in the back row domino over!
or one time in practise i had a solo, and i forgot my flute at home so i took a ugly school one. it worked okay... but then in the middle of the solo the foot peice fell off...
***best thing EVER!! my freind had just took on the baratone sax, and she was doing fine, but she couldnt get all the notes... so about a week before our big chamber music performance we were practicing, and she was getting frustrated with the sax, so she pretended to throw it, which was funny.. but as she lifted it over her head... a neck strap fell out of the bell!!!!!! needless to say she can now play perfectly!

Are band plays behind the goal post.Well, whenever a ball is coming someone yells incoming and your supose to watch for the ball.Well, I wasn't watching and the ball came right to me and I got hit. The trombone bell is supose to be a circle well, when I got hit my bell smushed and closed in. The worst part is it happen before a the halftime show and this halftime was homecoming.The next day I had a bruise on my leg as big as a football and one on my arm. I got in so much trouble because the pay was a lot for repair.Now everyone makes fun of me and says "Don't pull a Jodi."

My most embarassing band moment was when I was walking backstage before a competition with the rest of the band with my BRAND NEW BASS outside of the case (I had literally just got it like a week before). There was this really big brick sitting on the floor for some reason and to make a long story short I tripped over it. redface I took a dive but saved the bass. It escaped without a scratch.... fun

Once I tripped and fell flat on my face while running back to the last set during marching practice. Everyone laughed. xD

Another time, we were practicing this woodwind-brass crossthrough.. it's hard to explain, but it was HARD. The brass were in a block marching to the right of the field and the woodwind block was on the far right and were supposed to march diagonally into their horizontally moving block, pivot, and jazz run. Anyway, the crossthrough was basically a near-death experience each time because there was NO ROOM for error and you would pass within inches of the brass players.
ANYWAY, during this one run-through I collided with one of the trumpet players, missed the pivot entry into the full band jazz run, and had to leap out of the way onto the sidelines infront of all the directors and the entire band. It was pretty embarrassing. o_O

And this one time, the head director caught me chewing gum during a marching rehearsel (and playing my instrument at the same time) and made me run and spit it out infront of everybody while they waited. <_<

And this OTHER time (XD), I had to try out for Concert Season (this current year). Well, I get REALLY nervous during auditions and my section has some really amazing talented clarinet players, this would basically determine what bands I would be in for the rest of my High School career, AND it was infront of all of the directors. So when it got my turn to play (some scale), I blanked out on the notes. It was the most retarded thing and it totally destroyed any confidence I had built up. I think I played the accidentals flats when they were sharps or something. Anyway, I finally figured that out and began half-page etude (that was our really hard All-Region music, btw). I tremble when I get nervous and when I'm embarrassed, I cry (I can't help it, it's a reflex). So I was sitting there sobbing and shaking, the exponential shame of it all coming crashing down and they tell me to stop and get a drink of water. Oh God, it was absolutely mortifying. O_O Well, after calming down a little I come back in, sit down, and play the etude with much improvement. And, by the way, I am not a bad player. I was the only 7th grader allowed in Symphonic 2, an 8th and 9th grade band, in Junior High. Then, I was the only 8th grade clarinetist out of, like, 10 to make it into the top band. And THEN I was first chair all my 9th grade year. So I was NOT about to let myself rot in Second Band for my entire High School career, dammit! D:< In the end, they put me last chair First Band, which was the best I could hope for. So it still had a happy ending. And I've finally overcome my fear of auditions - all I have to do is do is not give a s**t about the outcome. Yay! =D

Just last Tuesday at our concert all my music fell off my stand after the first piece, and I'm in one of the seats closest to the audience xDDD I thought it was hilarious. I wasn't the only one who dropped the music either, it was cuz' of the stupid stands. We brought these stupid unstable ones that don't have a lot of room for music, and we have 8 different pieces to play and most of us also had our band folders on the stand as well. xDD

oh...this is an easy one. being the only freshman in a section is annoying. But a tradition at my school (I'm not sure if it's just my school) is to, at the end of marching band camp, to do play a random song from our concert. BUT, only one generation marches at a time. Like...first the time, it's seniors only...then juniors, and so on to the freshman. My freshman generation is a bit smaller than the other years, and I'm the only drumline freshman, and I have the biggest drum on the entire field. that was pretty bad...I'm just glad that it was just for fun and none of the older drumliners (I worship themzez! xd xd ) pushed it in my face. ^.^'
