Re: Post humorous trumpet experiences here.

Last year our college marching band, The La Crosse Screaming Eagles, got invited to march at half time at a Packer game. Anyways we marched on the field, and when we were called to attention I put my horn up and my third valve slide shot out and off. Apparently I forgot to put the screw that kept it from falling out back in when I cleaned it a while ago. Anyways, it was bad, and I saw it coming too, it was almost like time slowed down when I heard the popping noise of it coming off. Somehow I grabbed it in mid air and I spent the entire first song trying to get it back into my instrument marching around all these camera crews by us.
