We don't have but I really bombed my Al-State audition if that counts.
Totally wrong time to bomb an audition. DX
But I still managed to scrape last chair in the concert band (ninth).

Yes.
We were doing chair auditions, and we had a week to learn an IMPOSSIBLY hard piece. I mean, really hard. 7 notes in a beat while really fast kind of hard. I bombed the first impossible half, but pulled it together in the last half. Strangely, I moved up a chair.
I'm going to try and scan it to show you how hard it was to learn in a week.
If anyone has played first clarinet for the Valdres march, that's it.

Sort of.
I was supposed to sightread for NYSSMA.
And I played the entire piece an octave higher than it should have been.

I'm a French horn in my school's "higher up" band, so it's nearly impossible to bomb a playing test. In fact, I was pretty confident that I had bombed my tryout for Continental League, but I ended up getting in. Seems like directors are a lot tougher on the "common" instruments and more forgiving of the "not so common" instruments. But even on trumpet, I still did pretty well, so I don't know.

I got so nervous during honor band tryouts one time that I psyched myself out and totally jumbled up all the notes. You couldn't even tell what the song was. But I made it in anyways because my band director was the judge. xd

One of the band tests I had, the whole band was playing a part of a song and my BD came and stood by me (I play Electric Bass Guitar), and I played about 10-20 measers and he stopped the Band and he was like to me: "That was pretty good"
"The Band you mean right?", I said back and he said "No, I was talking about you", and I gave him a weird look. My BD thought I did pretty good I ended up getting like 38/40 but for me I bombed it. If I don't get perfect then I do bad. xP xD

I did horrible on my last playing test, and the worst part is it counts for whether I get into the good band next year, or the not-so-good band, which is a first for our school. Ackk, I hate being all nervous and stoof. Then again, our best player, a flute player, who's one of the best on the east coast, she didn't even get a perfect score. So he's grading harder then normal.
