How many of you still have your old DHS band instruments? I can't find
my oboe, but I think I may have destroyed it when killing a rat with it.
What's your story (real or fake) as to what happened to your old band
instrument? Or do any of you have any memorable recollections of good
or bad band experiences?
My recall is when we played the Egmont Overture and I had the oboe solo
part. After all the preludes, crescendoes, or whatever I was about to
make my solo presentation and then I choked. I think it was dead
silence for a while until the rest of the band picked up the pieces and
continued playing. Thanks for your help. And the band played on.
Anyone else have a story? Let me know.

OH, by the way, I was perfectly content with playing my old saxophone
until someone (probably Mom or Dad) coerced me into converting from
saxophone to oboe. What a fiasco. When's the last time you saw
someone playing an oboe in a rock band?
