My friend tried to put rosin on her bow but she already had way too much, and so it started coming off the bow in big clouds and then it went up her nose and she had a sneezing/coughing fit. It was really funny. mrgreen

We had a five minute break and my friend was being immature (hes 3 years older then me). He put a Swedish Fish down one of the F-holes of my cello [steve]. I was very pissed and this was during the 3rd orchestra that I play in.
During the first orchestra rehearsal I needed rosin.
It exploded too, and went everywhere and the conductor
was cracking up. It wasn't funny though cause we were having a dress rehearsal and we had to wear our all-black for the photoshoot.
ugh
Now I deeply despise swedish fish

Well, any woodwind player knows that it is impossible to even smile and play at the same time (well maybe trumpets) and Mr. Bro always makes a joke right before he is supposed to play. So we were all laughing and he yells, "OKAY, LET'S PLAY HERE, WE GOT 10 MINUTES!" so everyone manages to get their instroment up and he counts off but no one plays.
We all started to laugh like crazy. One kid tripped over the little feet on the timpany.

The only particular experience I can recall was during a pep band. I was sitting and playing next to him, while his trumpet part ('cause he plays with us) was just rests. He started dancing to the music. Of course it made me laugh, and I couldn't play the horn soli thing. He just smiled at me.

Well, there was the one time the saxophone section leader decided to play his saxophone upside down for the day... our BD couldn't see him, but the whole band could and we couldn't stop laughing. So we sounded pretty bad...
Actually, there are a lot of things like this that happen in our band...

There may be plenty of fish in the sea  One time we were in the middle of a piece, but the clarinets were resting for about sixteen bars.
When we went to come back in, the guy who sits next to me managed to hit himself in the eye with his clarinet. ((I'm still not sure how, it's not like his eye and his mouth are close!))
The whole section was practically in tears laughing, and I think there was only one clarinet who managed to actually come in when we were supposed to. but who really wants to date a fish?

Yes, I have exploded 3 rosins. I have no grace with with my fingers.
It was right before our last concert of the year, and we were tuning. I was tuning my G-string, when someone scared me and I turned the peg really hard. The string broke and I had to pretend I was playing those notes the whole time.
We also went to a elementary school to preform Pirates of the Carribean. We had the elementary orchestra players setting up for us (all 40). I took out my violin (which is purple and has multi-colored flowers across the bottom of the front) and was mauled and trampled by fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders. I looked up to my friends for help, but they were all just shaking with laughter as the tuned their instruments... I didn't get my violin back until about five seconds before the show started. 4laugh

My orchestra teacher (Mr. Drummer, for those of you that have had him, he SUX!!! I hate him) He was trying to get us to play, but we enjoyed talking, but we still played, and Jayme, Samantha, April, and Yahara were all holding a conversation, and Adam and I (Viola pride, yo!) were talking about something, like, my instrument, and I droped it. It didn't break, but...
and then, one time the violas had to play staccato stop-bows and we come in on the wrong beat, and screwed everyone up. the Cellos and Violins, they hated Adam and I.

I play percussion and It was quite funny because one of my friends (my percussion section is dominated by females) Thought she'd be cool and tried to spin the drum sticks.
Well, the drum stick slipped out of her hand and fly across the room and hit the bands oboe player... My friend was like redface eek
and then there's me: blaugh blaugh xd blaugh blaugh
Even the teacher was laughing....
..........................................
Another time my friend was playing her fiddle (we have 1 fiddle player and 1 oboe player and they sit next to each other), this is during a concert, and smacks the oboe player right in the head with her bow! And I don't mean lightly I'm surprised she didn't take out the oboe players eye....
I was amazed the band kept playing, everyone was laughing! Even the people in the audience and the conductor.

So... I don't really know if it belongs here but whatever...
The percussion section was given an ensemble to play two hours before a concert. And for a young high school section, that's tough enough. But we didn't want to do it. So we waited about an hour, got bored, and tried to learn it. Didn't happen. But we didn't tell anyone.
So, that night, we start playing the piece. No conductor, just us playing for the audience. It went well for... 20 measure or so, then everyone got lost in a groove section switching from 5/8 to 3/8 to 4/4 to 2/8 and such. So we're just out there grooving. Our first chair player is about to cut us off when one mallet player nods to me, and we start improving our parts. Everyone just ahead a page, and slowly fades out. The first chair player ends with wind chimes, just to let everyone know where done. No one claps for 30 seconds or so. But we still got a standing ovation.
WOOO PERCUSSION!

In the school band...Oh god, there's so many I can't think of any now XD
Well, there's three bassoons in our band. And concert season hasn't officially started, so it's just the marching band on concert instruments. So the bassoon players are sitting behind me, and I hear them asking each other what an F flat was, so I turned around and told them it was an E natural. Being funny, I was like "Guys...guess what." So all three of them go "What." And I was like ".......B sharp is a C natural. o.o" and one of my best friends looked at me and goes "...what's a C natural?"
It was even worse because our drum major plays bassoon, so he looks over at her and goes "DID YOU GO THE ENTIRE SEASON NOT KNOWING WHAT A C NATURAL WAS?! O.O"
It was hilarious. XDD So now when she asks something really stupid, I go "...and what's a C natural again?"
Good times, good times...
And our school doesn't have an orchestra, but I did a summer one at a community college...and the director is my private lessons teacher, so she's getting all frustrated with the 1st violins (since most of us are her students) because we can't get the high D in third position on the E string in tune, and she goes over to the piano and bangs on this one note and goes "THIS ONE...oh wait, nevermind, not that one."
