As a graduate assistant I monitor the music for the ensembles at my school, one of the trumpet players decided to drop out and go back to his country and took his music with him. I had to write out the 3rd trumpet part off the score the night before the concert and pray that the trumpet player could read my handwriting. Fortunately the trumpet player did fine however the other guy who left the country had an original and it was a rental part and now its my job to get it back!!!

I guess thats not so bad though, however the part I had to write out was Stravinsky's symphony for wind instruments where every measure changes meter, my hand was killing me so bad I couldn't practice later that evening from stiffness and cramping in my hand.

Maybe I'll have to fly to Israel to get the part back!!!!
