I remember a concert at the university that I was attending that went horribly wrong. The conductor had a particularly difficult meter change, something like a different meter every measure for about six measures, and he missed a measure of 2/4. The entire ensemble kept on playing with the exception of the percussion. They stopped playing and starting looking strange. Wait a minute, don't percussionists look strange to begin with???? The conductor started waving his baton like a mad man. I almost lost myself in laughter looking at him. Some how we all hit the next section together and the rest of the concert went well.
I am glad to be graduating soon so I can move on to different inept conductors. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!
