In middle school, we were in the middle of rehearsing a piece when one of the alto saxophonists sneezed into his horn and made the most obnoxious, loud sqwonk I've ever heard. Everyone completely lost it.
This past year we were playing the Montagues and Capulets by Prokofiev in the youth orchestra I play in. A few seconds after the violists had finished rehearsing the glissandos in the slow middle section of the piece, all of us clarinetists mimicked it at once, playing the gliss sort of Rhapsody-in-blue-style. The whole orchestra cracked up. When everyone finally stopped laughing, we began to play again, only for the conductor to start dancing to the music. We managed to get through the section, but all of the woodwinds were cracking notes and squeaking trying not to laugh.
