-During the Music Man, our percussionist who was trapped in a corner of the pit behind his timpanis falling ill during a show and having to climb over the entire orchestra to get out in the middle of a song (and still managing to get out before he threw up!)
-During the riot scene at the end of the first act of fiddler on the roof, a glass falling off the stage, hitting a timp and making a fantastic noise.
-Splurge guns going all over the place in Bugsy Malone

And one i've always wanted to do, and just might this year for Seussical...
Ever noticed how many shows have designated spots for the orchestra to tune, warm up etc at the start of an act or piece? Ive never had the nerve to get half the band to play an a and the other half to play a Bb but ive always wanted to....
