Circa 1969, I offered to play an interlude for one of our church youth choir songs on clarinet, director thought that was a nice idea. But the Sunday night I was to play, good clarinet was at school. So I had to use my marching clarinet shaped object (CSO). Went OK but I was not happy about it.
In 1971, I left my UH band uniform at school Thanksgiving weekend, so I just didn't go to the downtown Houston parade. And as I recall, I never said a word, and still got an "A", whew.
Decades later, I had to deliver trumpet(s) to high school a couple of days for one son or the other. Once I got a frantic call about trumpet parts, and I delivered them moments before the high school musical began, much to the relief of son and other (adult) trumpet player. Some things never change.
