Well, recently at Allstate Orchestra, my friend was on second trumpet (I was on bass trombone or 3rd). During breaks, he would leave his horn on his Hercules stand (he played a Stage One Classic, the one in the display photo on the NYTC site). I would tell him to leave and that I was going to catch up in a sec. I grabbed my water bottle, and poured a large amount into the leadpipe. When he came back, he picked it up, blew, and consequently sprayed water all over the floor. He came over and called me an expletive. The break after, i knew he would expect the water in the leadpipe, so i took off the third valve slide and FILLED it with water. This time, he picked it up, played a chromatic scale down from low C and when he got to the Ab his horn gurgled and splurged yet again. Let's just say our low brass had a major amount of fun at Allstate Orchestra.
