Tacet got me once!
We were doing Sousa's Stars and Stripes forever. The strain just before the dogfight; where the Piccolo Flute is very busy was marked 1X Tacet 2X Forte
Since I had never encounted Tacet I made a horrible assumption.....
Hummm Tacet = Take-it.....Close enough.... Ok here we go...
In a blaze of glory I lifted my bell and totally covered our one Piccolo Flute.
The conductor stopped and said, "Ok what happend there?"
I replied, "You stopped?"
He then asked me if I knew what Tacet (Taaa-sit) means. I replied, "Tacet (Take-it)?"
The whole band started roaring with laughter and he then replied, "Well from now on leave it alone"
Live and learn!
