So what is your most embarrasing moment playing?
I'm going to be brave and start off..
Several years ago I was with my band heading a mayors parade through the town centre in Walsall. Anyone who has done this march will know that it is a treacherous route through the market to the the church.
Anyway, on the return journey I had successfully negotiated the carefully placed deposits of the mounted police and then noticed a guy about 5 feet away with a video camera - time for a good show I thought. Unfortunately, I didn't notice at the same time the 4 foot bollard in front of me and marched straght into it, much to the delight of the rest of the band and the local military unit right behind us. Nearly caused a switch to soprano...... :shock:
No serious damage other than pride - guess that will teach me not to be vain.....
Over to tMP friends now. What are your most embarrasing moments
(Bottyburp - are you going to confess about the national?
