Ok, I was at this concert for premiere musical pieces, and so this is the first time the world is hearing them
We are about 11 minutes into the second piece, and this one is mostly made up of this awesome girl playing a series of flute solos. I mean the girl was amazing---I have never seen anything like her. We are at this beautiful part, a perfect quiet, hushed solo, and in the middle of this beautifulness, the conductor signals for the tuba player to enter in with this quick, flatulent tuba sound.
It was completely random and out of place, and took the focus right off the girl, not to mention it sounded like a giant fart. And I kept telling myself, "You are a mature adult, and that wasn't funny." But then he did it again. And pretty soon my friend Chuck and I were in painful, silent hysterics. The kind that you cannot control and cannot stop for the life if you. I tried everything to stop, but everytime I got myself under control, he would laugh and I would start up again.
The composer of this piece was sitting right behind us, and I am almost positive the entire hall heard us. We left at intermission.
