That happened a few times in orchestra, and I'd keep going, and everyone would kinda stare at me.
One time, me, a viola player, and a violin player stopped at the same time some how. It was weird, it's like our fingers stopped working.

Do you mean on purpose? If so, hells yeah. Many times. It does sound cool. But if you mean accidentally then... yes as well. There was this one time that we were preforming Pirates of the Caribbean in front of a judge. We were outside and the lighting was so horrible we could barely see a thing on our sheets. When we got to this one part, we all completely froze up. It was quite funny.

yea, we were at the first concert of the year, and i must say our teacher sucked real bad. and no one took it seriously, except for me, since i was from a school where the kids in band cared.... and the song got so mesed up that the teacher stopped us, but half the bad wasn't looking and kept playing, so it died like a slow horrible death. after that I dropped band at that school. i was shocked and appalled. domokun

The only one who was playing, was the bassist when the trombones and the trumpets were supposed to play.
(the jazz band that day crashed and burned.)

There may be plenty of fish in the sea  Once in the very beginning of a piece, two clarinets took the solo opening.
but on concert day the first clarinet died, and the second (me) was really bewildered and upset, and playing on her own. =[ but who really wants to date a fish?

In middle school, for some reason, the entire band just stopped, all together, when we hit this one measure (fortunately, it sounded extremely similar to the end, and the audience never even noticed). It was quite amusing, though, especially considering that before then, it had been going very well.
Also during one of the last practices for marching band. We were practicing the two parade marches we were going to perform the next weekend.... And no one knew the music. So we just walked, blowing random notes. It was horrible. (The conductor also found it prudent, I might add, to, the week before the parades, hold jazz band practices in lieu of marching practices. We were very unhappy about that.)

hahaha... we sightread a piece called "The Second Storm" and everyone made it 17 measures in, then stopped because the tempo went from 88 to 132... everyone was really angry at themselves. every measure was supposed to be "instense" so Gary made every measure look like a rehearsal number. we were more mad at him that ourselves

in our winter concert, we played a piece; Mannin Veen (Dear Isle of Man) by Haydn Wood.
btw that piece is GODLY!!!!
anyway, i was playing 1st trumpet, along with a senior and a junior (me being a sophomore)
and during this one incrediably difficult part, (16th and 32nd notes!), the other 2 just dropped out!!!!!!!
ive only been playing this instrument for a year, they have for 7 and 8 years!!!!!
so i got a bit of a solo i guess
and although the entire band didnt die;
the trumpets certainly did!

Well, we've done that a couple times in a WTF moment with the music, but nothing major or during a concert. My favorite thing though, while we didn't all freeze, was when the entire wind section of the band took a breath at the same time. There was no breath mark, no verbal instructin to do so, we just all did it. There was this brief sound of the intake of air, and ever one came back in. Once we finished the song, our bd commented on how it would take twenty minutes or mmore to rehearse that if it was supposed to be there, but since it wasn't, we all did it perfectly.XD
