      I had a situation when there were three basses - me amatour and two pros who were much better. I practiced my part a lot before rehearsal to keep up while they were sight-reading and still playing better. And then there was a repeat which I practiced for hours and ended up being the only one who did the repeat. It was my little victory that day. ;)

    1:11 I'm not a professional musician but back in sixth form I did this huge event with 200+ students and teachers - when I got to the rehearsal, I was assigned to second violins. Competition for first section was harsh, and there were a lot of string players. We were playing Mars from The Planets Suite, and the conductor said to watch his beat for the final 2/3 bars of accented notes. I paid attention and ended up being the only person in the entire strings section who got it right. The conductor pointed his baton at me and told me to stand, and take my music off the stand - I was absolutely terrified, stood at the front of the orchestra, over 200 people watching me...

Then, the piece ended and the guitar ensemble started playing all while my friend is having a coughing fit. She managed to get the reed out, but a rude music teacher we all hate was watching her the whole time, and emailed the conductor that she was ‘mucking around.’ She got punished for choking.

    Once during performance, I don't exactly know how but my eyes suddenly felt super uncomfortable from the bright stage lights and I just started tearing up, like tears streaming down my face. The conductor and my stand partner noticed and was probably weirded out because it was quite a cheery little piece. I didn't even try to explain afterwards because I was too embarassed and was busy wiping the tears from my face.

    I was playing cello in a quintet. For a wedding outside. It had rain heavily day before, so the ground was soft. My chair started sinking sideways. Even though my spike had a larger ball stop, also started sinking. Same happened to the Contra Bass. As well as the violins and viola players. By the time the bride slowly sauntered up the aisle, I was playing the cello sideways, at chest level. The violins were almost sitting on the ground. The Contra Bass had pulled her spike up out of the ground and had it balance on her foot.
    Edit- yes it was f**king Cannon in D

    I went to a concert last month as audience and this is a true story. After the tuning, everyone has seated. Quiet. Waiting for the soloist to come out (followed by the conductor). A girl came out. Audience clapped instinctively. Turned out she’s the last desk in the 1st violin section. She’s so embarrassed and sat down immediately. A faint laugh was heard among the audience. Then after a few secs the soloist came out. Motto: don’t be late 😂

      Oh man, I remember a few years back during middle school, my school had this weird system that if you were taking both choir and band (and gym) in schedule, you would have to skip lunch during b days to have gym and then have band right after. Well our conductor decided to be "nice and considerate" and allowed us to have lunch in between, Giving us like 7, tops 10 minutes to shove our food down our esophagus. Great. All good so far. But when we got in the band room and tried to just blend in with what was going on, he would always call us out and tell at us for being late. Sometimes he would just forget our situation and we'd had to remind him. ADDING in to that, one day I forgot to bring my instrument and when I got to school and realized my big upsy, I knew it was bad news. I ended skipping band class that day because I was so scared of that man, and let me tell you, I'm a good mid- the type that skipping class has never occurred to them. I look back and the experience still haunts and till this day I haven't forgotten lol.

    thankfully my orchestra teacher is like the nicest teacher ever,
    -she never yells at you if you forget your instrument at home, she just gives you another one to use for class
    - if you play something wrong, she will not directly address your mistake in front of the whole class, instead, shell pull you aside during breaks or the end of class.
    -she usually asks us to play and when she tests us by groups of 4-5, we can go on our MacBooks and basically do something " school appropriate "
    - she hardly assigns any things to practice on smart music ( which is like a website you can use to upload music and record your paying so that your teacher can hear ) and when she does assign something, it's either a summative or a super easy piece that we can play.

I was so glad because I was always the last person to finish tuning since my tuner picked up the sounds of the other 37 kids simultaneously trying to tune.

    “Is that your phone, sir?!” And it’s a nice rendition of Toscanini roasting his musicians. I’m not a professional musician, but I so needed a laugh!!! We all have days like this. I love this video.

      I sang in the choir. Often each section would sing alone to train. Sometimes we were just 2 or 3 people and I would feel like everyone was looking at me. I was quite introvert and insecure back then, so that was really not fun. But singing everyone together was awesome.

    Omg #9 having a coughing fit during a performance!
    Legit in high school I had a cold during one of our concerts. First half we played Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaugh Williams which is super gentle and quiet like almost the WHOLE DANG SONG. I sat at the end of a row in the first violins RIGHT by the edge of the stage, and couldn't stop coughing which of course got worse the more I tried to stifle it. I should also mention the whole concert was RECORDED, so when we got the recording back, you could hear me loud and clear coughing through the whole. thing. Mortifying!!
    Luckily my mom had a cough drop she gave me during intermission, so the second half went a whole lot better.

    I have always been terrified of getting a coughing fit during a concert- I get them a lot during rehearsals and auditions for some reason. I almost got one a couple months ago and managed to hold it in until I basically coughed up a lung when I got home lol
