Too many to mention! Not noticing the key sig', playing the alto sax part on the tenor, sqeaking during a solo, falling off the stage, etc.......

Yes, I do indeed like to play in silent bars. I'm sorry Mozart, you know I love you but you shouldn't have stuck a silent bar there.

Is a craving for attention thing? Only joking of course, but I know how embarrasing that can be, especially when it's supposed to be a full on fff accented. You only have to worry when you start developing the nervous twitch.

i was speaking to the horn player in our orchestra, who also plays the cello for BYO (the legendary orchestra in brighton) and he hates it when there's a big horn entry as, with cello, you can sort of play once everyone has started - obviously on a brass instrument if you're in the wrong place, the audience can tell. he's pretty reliable though so it tends not to matter too much for him - the trumpets aren't exactly accurate and when you get them playing at the wrong time... hahahahahahahahaha

Yes!!!!!!! Very funny then, but try not to laugh out loud, there are probably more of them to get you afterwards than bassoonists to protect you! I once hade to put together a showcase arrangement for a full swing band. At the end the trumpet lead had a big run up to a high C... you know what's coming ... run up fine but he missed the very last note! I had to speak to him afterwards, but he was a big bloke and I ended up in a bin of food waste, head first. Be careful with trumpet players. Don't worry about the oboes though, beat them up anytime. Either that or fall in lurve with them.  |

The thing our conducter really likes to do is pick out that one really hard bit you just can't manage and make you play it, on your own, with everyone listening. And nine times out of ten I'll play the hard bit fine but make a really simple mistake. It always happens.

that happened to me and em on the course! there was this bit in waltz of the flowers for 2 solo violins (not sure how that's possible but meh) and it ended up being the first 2 desks and me and em were desk 2... the conductor made all desk 2s play the solos because he's mean (from each section so desk 2 of 1sts, 2nds, violas and cellos) and everyone played perfectly until the bit where the 2nds came in and me and em missed the entry!  |

in one of the concerts we did in holland one of the flutes played a D# instead of Db, in their top octave... whoa. that's not good, especially when you've had no sleep
