 Were you able to keep playing?...

And now for something completely different.

A FB post about my high school commencement made me remember sitting with our band in the Houston Coliseum, and a mouse working his way through our group, to the terror of at least some of the girls and hilarious entertainment of the boys. A lot of frantic whispering and pointing- "Where is he NOW?" and such. I remember our director Mr. Montgomery kind of laughing but pretty effectively keeping things under control--- it WAS a formal setting. I don't recall whether we were actually trying to play anything at that moment.

Also during my HS years I saw a rival high school band's halftime show interrupted by the sprinkler system- courtesy of a jokester from our school- I hope not from our band.

So my question to all of you is- what's the worst thing you've ever managed to not let interrupt your playing? War stories, please. (From what I've been told, the best stories are from military band members- if they're allowed to share them.)
