Playing with a wind ensemble and the conductor got totally lost and so the soloist looked at him after he stopped after he figured it out and yelled the next measure marking.
The soloist continued and then did his cadenza and the conductor got lost again. He held the last note as long as he could, looked at him and yelled out the next marking again.
We were supposed to lead in and he keep playing after the cadenza. I was in stitches and I could not even play at all.
Thank goodness it was the end of the piece and we had only a few measures left.
The soloist was great, the conductor was absolutely lost and I could not quit laughing.
I was so glad we had nothing to play in the next piece for a while.
