Embarrassed

Oh my God,....

We got invited to perform with 11 trumpets in an Opera concert last night. We were the main attraction in Verdi's Finale II,... but things didn't quite happen as we had expected.

We had split the section into two groups to play from the little (Muppetshow-like) balconies on either side of the stage.
The group opposite ours was the first one to enter with the main melody in the Triumph March,...
And they DID !!!

Unfortunately it was about twelve bars early...
