There was a thread a while back about horror stories while playing out. Here is my very first:
I play with the local civic band. Last Monday we were playing a Christmas concert at the old folks home. We set up in the cafeteria so there is no stage. One of the residents, a barely conscious elderly man was wheeled in front of the clarinet section. Part way through 'Here Comes Santa Claus' (or perhaps some other schmaltzy tune, I've blocked most of the event out to preserve my psyche), this gentleman passes the worst smelling flatulance one could imagine. It was to the point where the entire clarinet section quit playing for the inability to inhale this foul air and subsequent inability to blow air through our horns. The director looked over to the now silent clarinet section with a puzzled look until the putrid gas wafted his way, then the light of knowlege was in his eyes and the cyanosis of oxygen depletion overtook him.
So I am no longer a virgin. I have a 'story'.
Anyone else?

"Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire?"

"Do You Smell What I Smell?"

lol. No horror storries yet from me. We did lose the second page to our "Sleigh Ride" music before, but since it's tradition to play that every year, it wasn't that difficult to play memorized.
