It's not an embarrassing story but it made me laugh. I moved to a new apartment, and I didn't want to annoy the new neighbours with my flute practice, so I decided to introduce myself and ask them if it bothers them, or maybe there is a baby that needs to sleep a certain time during the day when I should keep quiet etc.
I rang the doorbell for the flat above mine, an old man with a long white beard opened the door. So I introduced myself and asked him about my flure practice. He listened patiently, and at the end he said: *Sorry but can you speak up, I'm a little deaf and couldn't hear a word.*
Best neighbour ever.
You are good humble people
BAHAHAHAHHAHAH LUCKY
Maybe he just want you to relax.
I wish I had such neighbours 😑

Eddy as he wears a Beethoven shirt: “it was like playing without hearing; it was really weird.”
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT!
Like kousei from your lie in April 😂😂😂
Beethoven be like: lamentable, I COMPOSE without hearing 😎

I was about to comment that lmao
As an antidote to the 'when will you stop?' story: Once I was practicing the organ around 11:00 on a Saturday evening. As I left the building I saw a man on crutches hopping frantically in my direction obviously intent on having words with me ... 'Oh dear, I've woken the baby or something' I thought, it must be really bad to bring him out of his house at this time of night. So I went to meet him expecting to get roasted or something. When we met he said breathlessly: "What was that last piece you played ? It was fantastic..."
That's so sweet, I hope you played him some music after that!
@@minerscale I would have liked to, but it was after 11:00 p.m. and I'd already locked up and set the alarm ! :-)
@Σאgßと The christian community traditionally worships on Sunday, not Saturday (Shabbat). That tradition goes way back to the early days of the christian church when it was decided by the Apostle Paul in consultation with other church officials at Jerusalem that gentiles did not need to be held to the whole Jewish law. IN any case, the event took place after sunset, so the Shabbat would have ended anyway. This occurred in London, UK. Shalom :-)
@Σאgßと No problem ! I thought it might have been humorous, but maybe not so I replied seriously ! I wouldn't want to offend anyone !
@Σאgßと Yep !
I read a true story about an embarrassing choir incident. The guys were changing into uniforms backstage. One guy, mid-dressing, couldn't find something, so opened the door into what he believed was the other men's dressing room, and yelled, "hey any of you guys have my __?". The harsh stage lights blinded him, so it took a full moment for him to realize he had entered the stage wearing nothing but a shirt and underwear. The entire audience exploded.

Tbh the people that were calling members of the audience fat deserved what they got. And they actually acted like they were the victims smh.
Well said
Exactly what I thought. It's a shame for the other people who were performing though. They worked so hard just to have some jerks be rude over it.
Yeah, if you feel the need to be judgemental pricks then you can face the consequences lmao. those people have probably paid to come watch you, who gives a toss what they look like, you should be looking at the conductor lollllll
@LaFleur complete facts
Absolutely true, but the response to the story isn’t “oh that’s horrible for the people who were saying those things” it’s more about it being a horrible and unfortunate situation, a terrible accident to negatively affect the concert and the audience’s experience/enjoyment. I don’t think anyone’s really feeling much sympathy for the assholes who were saying nasty things

@@verak6058 you should just google how to soundproof a room, there are many articles explaining the best ways to do it. Usually it’s just attaching a specifically shaped material to the walls that dampens sound.

Bro I didn't even notice because subtitles covered it. Editor-san is gold

Yes, that bit was hilarious...
Not a crazy story, but a heartwarming one.
In my house, I'm the only one who played the piano. So when I went to study overseas, the piano was pretty much untouched, but every time I went back home I'd always play it a lot.
One day my mom made me deliver something to our neighbor. She's a sweet old lady who lived alone. She was so happy to see me. She said, "I knew you're here, I can hear the piano every day. I love hearing you play. It makes me happy. You've really grown a lot, you know. I've known you and your sister since you were born... I'm so happy you grow to be such an amazing person."
Hearing that from her warmed my heart and gave me the encouragement I never knew I needed. I knew she was often lonely, and she refused to stay with her son because she wanted to be independent. She even opened a laundry service, and the people in the neighborhood often asked her to do their laundry just so they had an excuse to help her out because she'd refuse help otherwise. I made a point to play more; I hoped, at least, it would make her feel less lonely.
A few years after, when I went back home, I realized her house had been renovated. I asked my parents and turned out she had passed away in her sleep a few months ago. Her son had taken care of her stuff, renovated the house, and rented it out.
It came as a shock to me. It was my first time experiencing the death of someone "close" to me, and the sense of loss was confusing. I regretted not telling her how grateful I was for her words. I regretted not playing the piano better, more often.
Every time I played the piano at home, I thought of her. I hope she'd like it.
That's a sweet story
I don't know exactly what did it but by the fifth sentence I was already crying. That's so touching
What a beautiful story!
Oh gosh im sobbing- how sweet, im sure she still loves your playing and listens to it when you play :,3
I love ur story, I’m sure she would hear you play piano every time from heaven with angels and cheer for you

"Dad filmed the wrong kid". Welp, I've done this before. Granted it was toddler ski school, and all the kids were bundled up in 10 layers and had identical rental coveralls/helmets/googles/boots/skis, but I was pretty sure I had identified my kid based on her MLP parka. Not only was it not her, it wasn't even her class (they had separate gondolas for the kids to go up the mountain and we hoofed it up on foot, to the wrong magic carpet). Anyways, I have about 15 minutes of footage of some random 3yo skiing down a hill.

Absolutely z e r o sympathy for the mic'ed trash talker.
I work as a makeup artist/designer for musical theater and it's annoying how much we have to shush people backstage. We've def had mics accidentally left on before. Although most people (mostly crew) were SO LOUD the audience could hear them from backstage. So annoying to have to remind grown adults not to fucking scream and laugh at the top of their lungs during a performance.
Maybe they didn't know they could be heard.
@@user-gu9yq5sj7c nah the stage manager constantly told them to shut up 🤣

This comment is perfect.
Put that on reddit or something
Nina Stadermann thank you, i was waiting for someone to comment that when i said i lost my shit. 😳
Apparently the YT algorithm have a good sense of humor 😂
So did they
my first time playing in front of a large group of people was as a highschool senior doing a solo classical piece for acoustic guitar. I offered to bring my amp because the room was large, but the organizer said "we gotchu, you can just play through the stand microphone and it will be over the PA". They forgot to turn the mic on, so I started playing my piece and the room was silent. anybody further back from the second row couldnt hear much. and the people in the back looked confused. I powered through, got some unsure applause and then asked some people backstage how it sounded. they said that they didnt even know I played. I practiced the darn thing for MONTHS
RIP bro
oh maaan, that sucks. You should've brought your AMP just in case, that happened to me too. I had to play my electric ukulele for school and they said they'd have speakers I could plug them into. Lo and behold, they didn't, good thing I brought my AMP cause of anxiety. Lost 30 minutes setting it up but at least people could hear me.
How do you even project on a guitar I wonder
@@LoreCatan Electric UKULELE? I have never heard of such a thing. I want to now.

I’m not a musician, but I sincerely hope that the mother who declined that offer the play for the orchestra gets her fully deserved comeuppance.
When I was 12, I was learning the piano at the academy for 4 years. It got difficult for me to practice because I was involved in the shitty divorce of my parents. Turned out I was only able to play on my piano 1 week a month.
My teacher was very mad at me for not practicing. She even threatened me to write a *very degrading* comment on my next certificate. I told her about my situation. She told me that I was lying.
I finish my lesson, I'm fighting back tears from all the humiliation, and when I finally get out, I hear the next student, who was about 10, tell her that she has Mice in her piano and that she couldn't practice.
She believed her.
FML.
EDIT: So many replies ! Thank you so much for your kind words.
I hope that pianists around the world who had to face such bad teachers are acing at their art today.
But my aftermath is kinda dissapointing:
So, yes, that was the year I said "stop". It was very difficult for me to realise that I didn't have the time or mental wellness to continue going to class. I didn't go to my exam (since I couldn't practice enough). I dropped out of music theory class shortly after.
The piano that was at my mother's was cheap and not maintained well, it sounded horrible and it couldn't be fixed. Causing me to not play piano for 9 years.
Today, playing the piano is always stressfull, I guess I associated it to constant humiliation, and my hands aren't as good as they used to be.
BUT, I am still trying to get back to it, but not having any kind of keyboard isn't easy to do so. It's a choice of mine, don't worry, I'm investing my money in art supplies and art school rather than music.
Music is still my second passion, I plan on studying on the more theoric and historical side than the practical side.
Thank you so much for reading this five paragraph essay about myself. You are all very kind.
I’m so sorry your teacher treated you that way. I hope you’re doing okay now, though. Still, your teacher was out of line and downright cruel.
That’s so wack..
That was not cool at all. I hope you got a new teacher after that. So insensitive of her, smh.
That was very mean of your teacher. Hope you got nicer teachers after that and are still playing
I'm sorry for u....
As an ex-theater kid mic protocol is super important. We were taught not to talk at all for at least one scene before our entrance and one scene after our exit to give the sound people time to turn our mics on or off. I don't personally have any horror stories about it happening to me, but I heard a story about a production of Charlotte's Web where after Charlotte's final exit, the actor who played her went offstage and during a silent blackout said "well I'm dead, now I can go pee." While still fully mic'd up.
thats so funny
Lol XD
Always assume mics are hot, amirite? XD
Yeah in our production of Dracula, one of the actresses tore her costume or something and said "FUCK" and her mic was still on, when she realized she said "FUCK" again even louder
I dropped my headband backstage while playing one of the lead roles. I said “oh my god, I dropped my headband, my headband, I headband. Oops did I say that out loud?” My mic was still on.
10 minutes before my first concert (a small evening with Schubert songs. I was at the piano, accompanying), the damper of the note E3 broke. It is literally one of the most used notes throughout the pieces.
I decided to open the piano and took out the whole mechanics, I removed the screws with a spoon because no tools were there.
I was then able to fix it, with the whole audience watching.
Had us in the first half...
Schubert SONG
Ah! Yes, the engineer…
@@livvylisvlog8106 yes, he wrote 600 Lieder
@@livvylisvlog8106 Yes, vocal pieces can be referred to as "songs". It depends on which type of vocal piece you're talking about - larger choir works usually have their own names (oratorios etc), and you wouldn't call an opera aria a "song", but the genre of art songs exists. If you want to be super exact (in the case of Schubert) you might call it a "Lied" (which is the German word for song and used in classical music terms to refer to art songs), but it's definitely more valid to call, for example "Gretchen am Spinnrade" a "Schubert song" than a "Schubert piece".
a lil embarrassing story:
I practiced a whole lot for this school music competition, but a couple days before the competition, I got really sick so I couldn't practice and I missed my rehearsal with my accompanist. Skipping forwards to the day of the performance, I had roughly 10mins to practice with my accompanist- 5mins into it I was told the competition was running late and that I would have to shorten my piece, so i'm scrabbling around trying to figure out what I can cut out and inform my accompanist on which bars i removed. Later, during the performance my accompanist forgot to skip ahead and so we were out of time and rhythm- so I tried to find the bar where the accompanist was but the adjudicator stopped us. I explained the situation and he allowed me to start over again. I checked with my accompanist to make sure she understood what was happening - to which she acknowledged- we get to the same point and she forgot to skip the section AGAIN. so I just stopped playing got my sheet music and walked out.
probably my worst performance everr and hella embarrassing :/
Not your fault
And you did well to walk away and show you're done
One has to make a point sometimes in life
truee but it was my last school performance/competition ever cause of corona ;-; just a lil sad
@@Enmakaha73 Awww
Hopefully you get to play in college?
I challenged the first prize winner that I'd win next year and now I've left the school... :")
The story about that person passing out and no one going to help them really pisses me off. IF SOMEONE PASSES OUT YOU HELP THEM IMMEDIATELY. There are so many reasons why someone faints and some of them would mean you need to to call an ambulance. Honestly if I was there playing or in the audience I would’ve just stood up, go to help the person and start asking wtf is wrong with everyone.
You can play a piece of music again but all you need is seconds for someone to get irreversible damage.
Sorry for the rant I just didn’t even think that people could be like that :(
Edit: Just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing replies! When I first went through the comment section I was quite shocked that no one was talking about this and its good to know I’m not the only one. Again thank you ❤️
Omg, so true! I am a nurse, and that part made me so angry aswell! *shame* *shame* :(
Seriously, fainting from low blood sugar is no joke (as a diabetic I have experienced this at least once, learned my lesson). Hopefully that person was okay and held that orchestra liable for ignoring a medical emergency like that.
Brett was visibly so pissed off! I started being like Eddy, ended up as pissed as Brett. I have heart defect and I work in hospital.
Actually, when I think about it, if it was something seriously wrong, not doing something could be a criminal offense.
Yeah say that to all the Marching band / drum corps people here who normalise stepping on their fellow members who fainted to keep the line moving. And sounds proud about it too.
True story: i was in the swiss army band. Sometimes we had to stand for hours under the sun waiting for some politician to show up n give a speech. It was expected for ppl to pass out. Orders: absolute priority on grabbing the instrument, let the guy fall, the percussionists will eventually drag him in the back.
Wtf I'm laughing out of shock
That can't be real
poor skulls and brains wtf
Foot guards in the British Household Division are taught to do something similar: they ‘faint to attention’ meaning that they’re taught to just collapse, and land straight, rather than crumple on the floor. This means that they can’t shield themselves as they fall, and bearing in mind that this is normally with a rifle with a bayonet fitted...
OMFG "the percussionists will eventually drag him in the back" LMAOOOOOOOOO I CANT
mat it’s so Swiss...
not exactly an fml moment but quite the traumatizing story
I was having flute lessons with this teacher I don't even remember the name of. It was spring of 2018 and we had a music concert coming up wich I was very excited to perform. She had a flute ensemble set up for the concert and I asked to join it. I spent weeks with her practicing my part for the ensemble. Day of the concert comes and I arrive 30 minutes before the concert was supposed to begin. We have the string quartet play first and then it's the flute ensemble. I waited for my teacher to come get me and bring me on stage because I'm visually impaired, and she just starts the ensemble without me being on stage. I was so upset and so mortified I sobbed and couldn't control my emotions. I tried to cry silently so no one would notice but someone noticed and went over to me to see what was wrong. Turns out my teacher was so busy she totally forgot about me for the ensamble. I performed my solo peace just fine but ever since then I was so traumatized I cried the entire night. Needless to say she tried to get me to perform for the 2019 concert and I adamantly refused. I never took lessons with her afterwords because I wanted to try my hand at learning the violin with a colleague of my mom who is a violin teacher as well as working at a daycare. But I am in a choir now and still perform today. I had my last performance almost 2 weeks ago and it was great.
Oh. 😔So Sorry to hear that. It is totally the teacher's fault for 'forgetting' to help you on stage. You did the right thing to refuse I hope you are doing better with the choir you are in. I think you are really strong and brave to share such a traumatizing experience. I don't know you but you are wonderful and strong 💪. Don't let others think otherwise. 😊
My high school would do musicals every other year and we would use the mics that clip on. One year and someone forgot to turn there's off and you could hear them backstage talking about sex and that's how some poor bish found out her boyf was cheating on her

About that last story: They made their bed. Never fat-shame anyone, kids
Or just make sure there's no microphone around.
I think most of us don't bother to be "pc" when you're just really relaxed talking to your friend. I mean there's a few people I know I don't bother censoring myself with, gotta just be honest sometimes. It's just bad luck. It was not shaming it was discussing among themselves not knowing others hear it.
Just don't badmouth in general
It was most likely fake. Mainly because if the audience could hear, someone would have stopped them.
@@bencze465 -- That's like claiming you're not racist because you only say racist things when no black people are around. It's what's in your heart and your character that makes you who you are. Making fun of other people, whether they know it or not, is not being "honest." It''s being cruel and immature. Plus, you never know who might find out what you've said and be hurt by it. It's best to keep your unkind thoughts to yourself.
about the passing out situation:
I am in 2 choirs and generally have problems with passing out due to blood circulation issues. I usually remind people next to me before performances that it might happen and our choir conductor knows as well. Once I fainted during a rehearsal for a very important concert but a few people stopped and helped me so,,,, I am very shocked that people would just,,,, let someone lay there??? Unconscious??? What the actual hell???
Had a violin recital. Didn’t spend enough time memorizing the price. Forgot the peace half way though and just stood there awkwardly. Then I started crying while the piano tried to cue me in... several times. It was recorded by both my parents and the teacher.
Speaking of someone passing out: I'm still not 100% sure what happened because they handled it so well, but this is how one should handle it.
I'm a singer in my university's church choir, and a member must've passed out in the middle of us singing. The two choir members standing next to her must've handled it quickly and quietly and dragged her backstage while the rest of the choir kept singing. Other than a few gasps from the congregation, I never would've suspected anything went wrong. The rest of the choir only found out what happened after the girl who passed out updated us from the ER and our director personally thanked the two people who helped her in an email to the whole choir.
I went to an honor band/choir a year ago. I’m in the band, and when the choir performed I kinda had to twist around to watch them. They were singing when suddenly one of the guys passed out. Everyone’s gasping and is like, “tf happened.” The majority of the people who didn’t see kept going, but the rest of the guys around him helped him and sat him down. Someone came up to the row and carried him off the bleachers. Poor guy.
One time a high school student in our church choir was supposed to give a small speech.... only it got skipped when he politely excused himself and threw up in the bathroom.. but he came back and finished the service.
I experienced almost passing out in the choir back in uni. I haven't eaten my breakfast and the space for the choir was very suffocating. I was worried that I might disrupt the singing if I'll pass out there. What I did when I felt faint was go out and thankfully, a choir member noticed that I was pale managed to contact the school clinic.
I wonder if anyone in the orchestra knew about having to fast for the blood work.
Yeah we had a lady almost pass out during a choir cantata. Luckily the director noticed what was happening. We had chairs behind us so he reached over and put a hand on her shoulder to get her to sit down and then passed her some water. The rest of the choir just kept going and she recovered quickly. Kudos to the director for not panicking.
Brett: How do you miss a concert???
Their live show: Sorry we were late, we just wanted to know what it was like to be a bRaSs PlaYeR

The truth about donald duck(I know so related to the video)
Seriously they're always late in my orchestra
lol
Bass.
When I was 14 My cello teacher hosted a christmas concert for all students. After everyone had finished playing their pieces we all had to get on the stage and sing a christmas song together. I had had a really bad headache all day and I actually wanted to stay home but my parents wanted me to go because they said I couldn‘t let my duet partner down. Well, while everyone was singing I started to feel lightheaded and passed out on stage. I remember waking up when a lot of people were standing around me, looking at me and debating what they should do... Thankfully my dad helped me. Most embarassing day of my life😅😂
At least you were okay.
I used to drum in my university's jazz band. One time, during the concert, I smacked my stick, sending it flying way up in the air and nearly hitting someone in the trumpet section. Of course, I had only brought that one pair on stage, but, thankfully, it was the last song of the set and the beat was playable one handed so I got through it. However, I learned to bring my stick bag on stage pretty quick after that. Another time, in my highschool jazz band, I had smacked my knuckle on the floor tom on the first song and had to spend the rest of the concert throwing blood all over the drum. At least now I know how to clean blood stains off a ride cymbal I guess.
When I've started to take violin lessons, trying to practice everyday, I once played around 21h30 for 15 min. The day after I played 20 min around 21h and someone rang at my door. It was my new neighbour who came to ask me to not start playing so late because the walls were very thin. We found a schedule agreement and then before she left I told her jokingly "So, I'm surprised you're not impressed with my natural talent ha ha !!" It was 100% a joke to light up the atmosphere, but I definately wasn't ready for her spontanuous answer..." Oh no, ABSOLUTELY NOT, it sounds HORRIBLE. Good night". But well... my ego and I are still here playing the violin 😅.
OOF
The unbreakable ego also applies for violin

Yeah, yeah, it hurt... "What doesn't break you makes you stronger " they say... 😆. There's a follow-up story actually, some times later I met her again in the hall, I was super worried so I apoligize profusely about the disturbance I've certainly I'd kept causing her during the past few months (not gonna lie here I may have tried my best ever since to avoid randomly crossing paths with her...). She surprisingly reassured me saying she didn't mind anymore, she was leaving and busy organizing her moving out then she add with a smile "But that's ok you know, it's much better now." Best. Compliment. In. My. Life.

FML: In highschool my stand pattern was playing her violin like a cello, then she slapped her instrument like she saw the cellos doing. Her violin crumbed in her hands felling to the ground breaking into multiple pieces. She then throw her hands in the air hitting my violin causing it to fly across the room smashing into the wall. The entire violin section just stopped playing and looked in horror.
I was having a masterclass with this famous pianist and he said my playing was so bad that he flailing his arms everywhere while holding his pencil and the pencil flew out of his hand, it hit the edge of my eye. The next class instead of throwing it by accident, he threw like a dart but he had really bad aim so it hit my moms leg. Let’s just say that when we went back for lessons he decided to let me write my own notes in my score.
What the-

When I was a child, I participated a children piano competition in Taiwan.
There was a rule that you can't bring your music sheets on stage, but I was so nervous that i forgot the whole thing.
Because i was so pale, the judges allowed me to bring my sheets, but i still manage to fucked it up and stopped playing in the middle of the piece. That was the most traumatizing experience then i gave up learning piano after the competition.
Fortunately, I picked it back up years later.
You weren't ready to a competition emotionally, it's okay :) I know someone, who skip in the last minute, standing in the "backstage"
Dangg I had a similar experience and I almost quitted piano after that, but I picked myself back up and am now doing better... hopefully... my teacher is still 🗿 af tho 👀
I definitely wasn't ready. I was forced by my teacher😭
Arima Kousei
I experienced something similar. It was my first time recital (even though I played the piano for almost 2 years) and my piece was "time travel theme" from the movie secret. I fucked up a chord and in that moment my mind totally went blank while I play, seconds later I realized that I was being saved my muscle memory and I played the whole damn thing perfectly just as I practiced while my mind is having a breakdown. But I fucked up again the moment I realized that.
In conclusion: Dont think while performing😐
Regarding the pooing accidents.
For those who didn't know: Our bowels can't distinguish between Gas and Liquid.
There is a little area in the anus that's checking out what kind of content is coming along, so it can send a signal to your brain which tells you
whether you need to poo(Solid) or to fart(Gas).
But if the content is Liquid like when you have diarrhea it's kind of like a 50/50 chance what kind of signal you'll get since this area only has sensory cells for Solid and Gas but nothing for Liquid. Thus it can feel like a fart while it actually isn't.
So what happened to those musicians on stage is actually a legit accident that can happen.
Man I've never thought anus would be that smart _and_ yet someone has discovered that function 😂
Ok, now I'm heading to the toilet every time I feel a fart.
Thanks for this information :D

So this happened in grade 7.we had a Christmas Concert where we were going to preform some songs. I had been practicing for months because I really wanted to impress my music teacher and also because it counted for half of our grade that semester. I was ready to go to the concert when right before I was about to leave, my parents called me and told me our car had broken down and that they weren’t gonna be able to drive me to the concert. I didn’t have any relatives nearby and my friends who were going had already gone. I had to walk 20 miles to get to the Theater so by the time I’d gotten there half of the Concert had already passed. When I sat down my music teacher looked at me and he looked super mad. He takes music VERY seriously so when he saw me drenched in sweat and having missed half of the performance he was pretty mad. Even though I had just ran all the way to here from my house I had to start playing immediately and I play the trombone. Halfway after I’d gotten there I was so tired and just over exhausted that I passed out. No one decided to wake me or call for help. When I finally woke up, I was just left in the theatre with no one except my music teacher and my parents who’d ordered a taxi. My music teacher said I’d been kicked out of band and failed the class. In my school one of the options you get to choose to do is band and those count in your grade. Let’s just say when I got my report card my parents weren’t too happy. So there’s my story
Viv Lim ya I know I really liked band 😔
That's absolutely horrible ! And you couldn't explain what happened to your teacher ?
Wow that teacher's SACRILEGIOUS!
Smh, as a trombone player, I can completely relate. I'm not really the biggest person. In fact, I'm 5'3 and 135lbs, and I would always have my unlucky moments when it came to missing something or something breaking at the last minute, and I wasn't really one of those people that would cope with it very well, especially in middle school and some of high school.
That's fucked up.
First that your parents didn't get you a taxi (?!), second that you got kicked out and got a bad grade for something that wasn't at all your fault and third that your parents got angry about your grade afterwards (??!)
During a concert, the girl next to me and I had the giggles. We were both laughing through our noses to try to be quiet but she apparently had a runny nose because she blew a snotty booger on my finger. This made it even harder not to react loudly. We giggled the whole concert as I wiped my finger on the side of the chair. My dad was the conductor so I got a big lecture when we got home about concert etiquette
Why would you share this?
Not sure if you want people to think you are funny or something. You are lucky it is your dad who is the conductor but if it is somebody else... I don't even want to imagine what would happen. Hope you learn your lesson because once you done it, you will be remembered as that person who showed no respect for musicians who worked hard for the concert.

So this was in 7th grade, we had a spring concert and we were playing Mars with a guest conductor and right at the end there was a rest at the end where no one played and stupid me (a horn player) who didnt count at the time played on the rest and EVERYONE HEARD IT. The guest conductor had a face that said "welp its okay we all make mistakes" but you can clearly tell he was dying inside. After the concert a few people came up to me asking me if I was the one who played on the rest and i simply said "no" "it was probably a trombonist"(sorry....). Im pretty sure everyone knew it was me.... I guess you could say that was the turning point and it was what made me be more serious about getting better.
😮that sounds horrible lol
If it makes you feel any better I had a horn solo and I messed up most of it
You guys got to play Mars?
Same thing happened to me kinda. We were playing some Nutcracker piece with the school orchestra, but because of final exams I hadn't actually ever rehearsed the piece before the concert (they only started rehearsing it a couple of weeks before the show) and after the last chord I accidentally played another chord (as a viola), because I had counted the last two bars wrong... smh
Literally the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine in year 9, you could see our conductor's face fall
8:08 that’s what they get for body shaming people 🤷🏻♀️
Kind of a wholesome story but here i go:
So for three saturdays in a row, I had concerts. The first was the annual showcase for my conservatory, the second was a concert for the high school and adult orchestras where some conservatory students (like me) were asked to perform as well, and the last was for the younger orchestra that my teacher taught where I was an assistant. In each of these, I performed my solo (I played the swan). In the last one there were more small children in the audience and they got a bit loud at times. So I was playing and all of a sudden I hear giggling from the first row (the stage wasn't set up so the performers stood pretty close to the audience). I looked and I saw a small boy who was smiling and laughing and i started smiling and the audience was very obviously trying to not smile. Anyway I finished my performance and left the stage (or "stage") and I went to sit in the back of the audience with the rest of the performers and the little kid that was laughing ran over to me and gave me a hug. I thought it was quite adorable and his mom was apologizing for him being loud and I said it was okay and it was all just wholesome
FML
Me: the worst point in my life was when I forgot the first part of my piece and played at the beginning 10 times. But after I practiced a little bit on another school piano during the same concert, I went and got a second chance. And got a standing ovation from the audience because of how "brave" I was.
At the end I cried and watched Twoset.

Here's another story:
So one summer I was sent off to this cadet (military-esque thing for youth) summer camp for music, and I was placed into the military band there. While I was there, I got the flu, and me being a clarinet player, it was really hard to play especially with the fact I was coughing a lot and my throat was as dry as a desert. The worst part was, the band usually plays in a local historical military fort in the town the camp is located in, and we had to play in the summer heat, in black tunics and pants, while marching around and singing. So, while performing, I was sweating like crazy (on top of the heat already being generated since I was sick), and my mouth was being sucked dry of any and all water because I'm playing my clarinet and singing. During the whole performance, I was practically choking and just practically dying for a sip of water, which I did as soon as the whole performance was over, where they handed out bottles of water to everyone, and I proceeded to down 4bottles in 1 go. More bad luck for me, there was this final performance where all the bands who performed that day would play as a massed band, and since I downed a litre of water less than 30 minutes ago, I really had to go... so right before we went on, I bolted to the washroom, unluckily for me still, during the massed band section, I pissed myself.
TL;DR: Was in a military band, got sick before a performance and was dehydrated due to summer heat, drank 1L of water before another performance and pissed myself

Subj: Bassoons don’t play in cold weather.
When I was a sophomore in high school, my marching band played an arranged version of “Rite of Spring.” I, as the bassoonist, still had the opening solo. The solos went well all season until it was October in northern Indiana and my bassoon was so cold that it wouldn’t play those high notes...so while I am mic’ed and realizing that the bassoon is not going to get out that first high C, I shift to an octave lower (which is so much less beautiful). After the performance I quickly ran to the bus and just sobbed because the whole band realized we were f’ed because the opening solo royally sucked. Adding insult to injury, on Monday we listened to the judges’ comments and I had to hear their opinions of my opening solo as well.
Wow I'm sorry to hear that💜
Hope you're doing well now!
I'm the drummer in a rock band, our singer once got so drunk that he fell onto my kit during a song knocking the whole thing over. That was the last time he performed with us.
I love how Brett was so furious that nobody helped the one who passed out. The "F" in his ENFP personality trait is kicking in.
It's the empath in him coming out 😄
Here's my story:
For my high school prom night I was assigned to sing solo as an opening act. I have carefully chosen a song that is so dear to my heart with lyrics that resembles my feelings towards everyone graduating. Turns out most people came an hour late, so there were only 10 people in the audience when I performed. The song I choose was very powerful and emotional. When the performance ended, there were only two people clapping including my best friend at the time who kindly filmed my performance. Eight years later, no one knew that performance existed. After my solo opening, I also have to do another dance performance with my dance team, only this time the audience is crowded. I made a huge mistake in the choreography. Some dancers were suppose to jump off the stage and start dancing together, but I jumped too early off stage, so I had to improvise the dance moves on my own alone off stage while everyone else was dancing on stage, waiting for their turn to go off stage. It was so embarrassing.
That's so sad!
You made it. It doesn't matter how many people saw it. You went up there and preformed. Good job :)
Bro you really tried your best. Good on you for at least trying to improv! I think I might’ve just frozen on the spot.
damn. Well at least you'll always have that as a really funny story. lmao
I once performed for a "pick your college society" event but the fuckers gave me a spot way in the back. Ended up performing for a heap of sand in an under construction area. Never again.
Here is an FML moment of my Life: It was a Winter Festival (Christmas themed concert/show) and for the Finale, the school orchestra wears supposed to play “Merry Christmas” to accompaniment the choir. Me and my friend saw a little Santa’s Village set up near the onstage entrance and we went to check it out. But it was a second before we were supposed to enter the stage. My mother called me on my smart watch and asked me where I am because she knew where I was supposed to sit due to the orchestra’s other pieces and songs being played at the start of the Festival. I realised what has happened and I ran on stage by squeezing through the choir and the ballet dancers. I got there on time and my violin was there and it was so awkward running through the crowd. I even heard some laughs in the audience. FML
that last story, though... that is some cosmic karma for body shaming people. uwu
I was assistant director for our local college's version of "Big River," the musical version of the classic American story Huckleberry Finn, where Huck and a runaway slave Jim float down the Mississippi River on a raft, seeking freedom. We had to hire a professional actor/singer to play Jim when the college student who was signed up backed out. Our new Jim was fabulous, with a gorgeous rich voice and great acting skills -- we were so blessed to have him -- but he was also REALLY into his role. There was this point where Jim is angry about the way he's being treated, and our Jim would slam the raft-pole (with which they push the raft along the river) flat on the stage. During practice, he threw it down at his feet, but he got more and more worked up each time -- no doubt picturing the way his own ancestors were treated in the mid-1800s -- so that during a performance, he actually threw it on an angle, and it glanced off the stage and hit on audience member in the front row, butt end to head, like a spear, with a sickening thud.
There was a moment of dead silence; there wasn't even a gasp, everyone was so breathless with horror; Jim was standing stock still, his hands to his mouth. Then the two people on either side of the victim scooped him up by his elbows and rushed him, doubled over, out of the theatre. Silence reigned after they were gone; the pole was not a prop-stick, made out of foam or plastic, but a dense wooden staff, and everyone felt the gravity of the accident that just happened. The theatre was dark, and the scene was a night scene too, which added to the sensation of silence and awe. I was sitting down right in the theatre, near where Jim was down stage left, and his stance is vividly in my memory. After maybe 30 seconds he sat deliberately down again, took a few breaths, and using the emotion from his own stricken horror at what he'd done, he continued on in his part. He was spectacular that night. We had an uncharacteristically solemn audience for the rest of the show, but there was a deep, shared sense almost tangible in the room that the show must go on. The cast finished well, and were applauded with great energy and feeling.
Afterwards, turned out that the guy was a buddy of his, who'd come to see him perform -- so no lawsuit. And the guy was all right, although the blow could have killed him. But our director banned our Jim from holding the raft pole in that scene ever again!
A real-life dramatic drama!
Aw man, glad the guy is ok
Wow

When I was eleven, our entire school year group had to take part in a production of Oliver.
I ended up being a narrator and one of the workhouse children. During dress rehearsals we didn't have a mic, and the teacher just told me to go off to the left of the stage to give the mic back to the choir teacher when we actually perform. Well, they didn't think about the fact that all the workhouse children enter from the right. So on the actual performance I walked off stage to the left to give the mic back, then panicked when I realized I was now supposed to be on the right to lead the others on to the stage. So I had to walk across the stage in dead silence with everyone staring at me, and I could hear people in the audience laughing because it looked like I had messed it up by going the wrong way off stage.
At least I didn't have to do anything for the rest of the performance lol.

IKR!!! My brother is a killer!
I was first chair flute in high school. I had a solo and had terrible stage fright. When it was time for my solo, I completely blacked out. I came to at the end of the piece. I had no idea if I played the solo or not. I asked someone in the audience and they said at one point I was just sitting there with my flute up to my lips starring while everyone else had theirs down in their laps. To this day I have no clue what happened.
My school played the entirety of Carmina Burana during my freshman year, and we had 3 adult soloists and a kids choir. Before we went on stage, a couple of the kids were running around and eating brownies and such, and one kid ended up throwing up during the 11th movement. There are 25 movements in total. There were also about 150+ kids on that stage. We had a full orchestra, almost our entire school's choir, 30ish dancers, 3 soloists, and 12 members of the kid's choir.
2:54 DUDE i watched an orchestra of Mahler 9 recently and in one of the dramatic silence in between movement/towards the ending (im not a musician so i'm not familiar with the terms sorry) i was feeling the dramatic build up and all, then suddenly someone's phone RANG LOUDLY. FOR 5 TIMES because they were rummaging their bag trying to find the phone. everyone immediately turned their heads that way and even I can feel the glares
it was bad because not only it was Mahler 9, but also it was the final concert of Lu Shao Chia (Taiwan NSO's conductor) before retiring. if i was that person i'd ban myself from entering that orchestra hall forever lol
CRINGEEEEEE. I am so pissed off just reading this comment I cant imagine if I was in the audience.
Wowee story time:
There was a choir concert at my middle school two years ago (I wasn’t in it yet, I would join the following year). The required uniform was all black and they looked like they were going to a funeral despite it being a happy energetic concert.
Apparently the stage lights were so hot and since everyone was wearing black it was even hotter. Towards the middle of the concert somebody fainted of heat and they didn’t even bother to stop or check if he was okay, and 5 other people had to support him while he was unconscious, and they were still singing and doing arm movements.
And the audience could see everything.
*He was literally unconscious until they revived him backstage*
*like he literally could have died*
How horrible! I don't care about "the show must go on" I would stop everything and help the guy.
sounds like my school honestly
In my Uni choir the policy was that if you start to feel faint you leave the stage yourself. A bit scary that nobody can exit the stage with you and help you, but it worked everytime. The person would go backstage, sit down, drink some water and come back when they felt like it.
Now I work at the opera as a choir singer, and it's so much different. The show MUST go on. The last time we performed I had a long-ass panic attack while on stage and I couldn't exit and had to sing. It was frightening , I thought I was gonna have a heart attack or something 😅 fml
I heard about something very similar happening to a buddy of mine. Did you go to Shepard by chance?
As someone who works with mics pretty regularly (and has this exact fear to say something stupid backstage) here's some help: most mics (be it handheld or headset) have a swich for mute-setting. So you just switch the mic to mute backstage but leave it on and right before you go on stage you just flip it back to normal. Just dont forget it!
Saves my live a lot.
Okay, so about four years ago, me and my two friends were doing this dancing thing on stage in front of the school and parents and families.

Also, when I was in 8th grade we had a wheel of electives and for band/orchestra/chorus (they were lumped into the same one, idk why), we had the option of doing the first ever choreographed performance that had been done in the history of the school. We took it, and practiced pretty hard at it. Come the day of the performance we get into positions and started our performance. The girl to the right of me was at the very end of the bleachers, and during the section where we leaned over she went too far, started to fall, and grabbed me. I panicked and grabbed the next one, and so on and so forth until half of the ensemble toppled over right off the top back row of the bleachers. This sudden shift in weight caused the bleachers to slide forward, causing the rest of the ensemble to fall backwards straight onto their asses. In total there were 2 injuries (broken/sprained ankles and shoulders), 3 trumpets were damaged beyond repair, one or two violins were broken clean in half, and someone landed on their piccolo, causing it to jam into their pelvis and broke the skin.
From what I heard, they were never allowed to do choreographed performances for the wheel of electives ever again lol.
Wow😂
I paused to read 'u mean more stupid than usual' and it just cracked me up. Editor-chan=MVP
If i were in that situation, i would protect my trumpet with my body. i just instinctively protect anything valuable (especially an instrument) even if it means i get hurt in the process. If it were my violin then i would just pray, there's not much hope of that surviving a fall.

Story Title: Don’t Cuss out your Bandmates!
I was a guest flautist in a concert band for one night. It was a fun gig for the USO. So, the music for the night was just a lot of American classics and John Philip Sousa. It was in the beginning of my performing career, so I was looking forward to getting to know some other flautists and band members. I was treating it as a fun gig and a friendly networking opportunity. Unfortunately, right before the concert, the principal flautist cornered me in the green room, literally cussed me out for having the “gall to come play with her band” and “replace her friend”. She called me such horrible things. I was fresh out of college and she was about 20 years older than me. I didn’t know quite what to say back, so I told her I was excited for the gig and that I know the conductor very well, and he thinks well of me enough to have me on as a guest. So, we walked out on stage, I tried to hold it together, and then it turned out I was seated right next to her the whole gig (stand partners too)! I still managed to have fun, but good God please don’t cuss out your fellow musicians at all but especially minutes before walking on stage!!!!
This is such a horrible experience!!! That flautist is such a horrible and petty person! Probably deliberately did that to mess up your performance. Kudos for you holding it in and making it through!!!
Lucy Kuo Thank you! I remember it being a flawless performance on my part too. Shows her right! This was like 7 or so years ago, and I still get fired up about it lol
@@pamiudoff7883 Sounds like that lady had some serious confidence issues to sort out O.O Holy...good on you for carrying on like a trooper!
RomanDoughnut For real though! Just because I was brought on as a guest doesn’t mean I’m threatening her musical talent 😂 it really just meant that I knew the conductor and he knew I was nearby the venue! Lol It wasn’t that deep 😬
That’s so horrible, but I think she is also trying to make you feel bad so you will mess up the performance though, or she won’t do that just a few minutes before performance ( you won’t have time to recover your emotions) selfishness of human i guess
It doesn't matter if no one hears you, don't body shame ANYONE.
True, I might add that age-shaming has become a thing and is equally of a no-go.
Kamikace age shaming? Like shaming someone for being the age that they are?? Goodness why?
@@marshmallow927 "that guy is so gross for having lived longer than me ew"

My fml moment was when I was in seventh grade in a concert, the story goes like so: I play clarinet and I had a concert in 7th grade. The band teacher said all of the clarinets will play and I had thought there would be about 11 or 12 clarinetists but when I get to the concert there were only 3 (4 if I include myself). And the first piece we play is The Star Spangled Banner, which if you didn’t know starts with the clarinets. So I start playing loudly because it’s in Forte and every other clarinet was too nervous to play forte so they all were play pianissimo and it was like I was the only one who was playing so it kind of was like a solo. After the concert we meet with the teacher and he says to the clarinets, “You guys need to work on Star Spangled Banner more.” Now at about this time I had been playing clarinet for. about four years and I had pretty much mastered Star Spangled Banner and I was sad when I went home. That was the worst experience I’ve ever had with concert. Also everyone else knew that I had been the only one playing right so I am now know as the dude who actually played something right.
Last Monday, I had a Jazz Concert Performance for my community college and I was the only student that performed in all 3 jazz bands. So, basically the order was 2-1-3 and then the 1st and 2nd jazz bands performed these 2 songs together and it sounded so cool imo!! Now, for me, I like drinking water in between the times when I'm supposed to play my part and that in return gives you multiple trips to the bathroom (I had 5 bottles of water that night lmao). So, we get to the band before the double band, and I suddenly really need to pee, and what was even worse was that this band was performing the most pieces out of all of 3 bands and so, that didn't really help much at all lol. So, as soon as they finished, I went to go put my horn and music down (I play trombone btw) and I literally book it to the restroom. It was extremely relieving, obviously lol, but when I came back, everyone was looking at me in disbelief, including my band director and he was like "where have you been?" And I told him "restroom!!" And I could tell that he was pissed. FML (but on the bright side though, he understood and actually told the audience to give me a round of applause for being the most active music major student out of all 3 bands, besides my band director of course).
I was a competitive gymnast for over a decade as well as [primarily] a pianist and violinist.
During one of my competitions, my hand slipped and I fucked up my grip in one of my release skills on the uneven bars, shattering my left thumb and index fingers. It didn't hurt since I've had way worse injuries, but in order for the bones to reset and heal properly without deforming, both fingers needed individual splints [and unfortunately, my small-town, gym-approved doctor only had bright, lime green bandage/splint wrapping].
Later that same week, we had our orchestra's state qualifiers. One of our selections [which I fought for lol], I was the pianist for, and for the others, my stand partner [concert master] and I had featuring parts. The entire time [on the violin] I had to play a half-position down with my bright-ass lime green thumb and index fingers pointing towards the ceiling. Even the judges giggled as it looked like I was giving everyone a big green middle-finger whilst playing.
Props to you for managing all of that!!
Wow you're amazing!!
I'm so glad you got to play for the selection, I was afraid you weren't able to play
I was also a gymnast for 13 years! Then I tore my MCL on my final front tumbling pass.
@@inactivefatimahgianna245 I'm sorry to hear that, hope you're coping well.
@@anjali2387 that happened In 2015.
eddy: catch up on your sleep. don’t over exert yourself.
also eddy: PRACTICE FORTY HOURS EVERYDAY
Practice while sleeping :) We need to multitask 😂😂
1. Don't over exert yourself.
2. Practice 40 hours a day.
And the problem is????
@@ankavoskuilen1725 we're not ling ling
practice in your dreams :)
SaLoNi good advice XD
Word to the wise: For the sake of you and your neighbors, do NOT eat Taco Bell before an orchestra concert. We were in the middle of performing Rhapsody in Blue featuring one of the university’s piano professors, when suddenly wave after wave of noxious gas starts to fill my corner of the stage. Unfortunately, I play the flute and so there was no way to hold my breath until the fumes could dissipate. Every breath needed to play was torture. Eventually, my fellow flautist (who’s decided to eat Taco Bell on his way to the concert) left the stage mid-performance and I could breathe again. 😂
I remember before an end of the year concert at my music school, we rehearsed in a tiny room all cramped together. We sounded horrible. We said that at least the actual concert would sound better than that and couldn't possibly be worst.
But we were wrong. The supposedly best violinist went of beat, some people went off beat with him, while some still followed my violin teacher's beat... It was a mess.
Afterwards, my mom congratulated me saying it was as good as always.

who else is reading the comments like:
"man F for this dude"
me lol
Me too
0:23 Key takeaway here:
Autobiography is usually the story of one person's life, but for Eddy and Brett it is impossible to tell either one person's story without writing whole lot about the other person
Their lives are so intertwined and inseparable that they share an autobiography

Well, isn't that what I needed this nice day to crawl into a hole and sob happy tears over how beautiful their bond is.
One thing I noticed when I was first learning violin in 6th grade was that slower pieces can be just as hard, if not harder than faster pieces. Everyone wants to rush or be the quickest player, but it takes discipline to slow yourself down and moderate your tempo.
The one about the high school student whose mom rejected the orchestra offer because he "only" had a 3.7 is literally detail-by-detail exactly what happened to me! Parents need to stop treating music like its karate or baseball or some other shit to keep their kid busy! Music is our LIFE!
