once while my school band was practicing marching music, the other tuba player set his sousaphone down to get a drink of water. while he was gone i heard a sound, (like when they pull a sword out of a shieth in the movies), and a loud clatter. when i looked over i had discovered that the front section of the bell had "jumped" away from the back section. it got pretty good distance too! we are still not sure but we think the cold at a football game had caused the metal to shirink and break the soldering.

i was laughing my ass off but the band teacher didnt find it quite so funny.
