| Post humorous trumpet experiences here.
One of the funniest one's I had was when right before a concert. We were hanging out in a room, I was having a can of pop in one hand and my trumpet in the other. Without thinking, I put my trumpet to my mouth and sucked, thinking it was the pop.
Another time was when I emptied my spit valve with my other hand right under it. Another time I was playing my fanfare trumpet (they are 4 feet long and straight with no valves) while slouching. I decided to sit up. Let's just say there was spit in there and gravity took it's course back into my mouth. yuck
Another was when we were tuning flugelhorns in jazz band and (you know on some of them the tuning slide in right where the mouthpiece is and you need to screw it in place). Well, I was flat and so I pushed in slightly. Now I went to play another note but forgot to screw it shut, so it when right to the sharpest extent. I've been playing trumpet for years and I'm sure there are other funny things that have happened, but this is all I can think of at the time. Any you would like to share some funny trumpet stories? |
