What inspires me to make this topic is that I had an Orchestra Solo & Ensemble competition this past Saturday. Students who wish to participate pick a solo and/or an ensemble and work on it for a couple months and then perform in front of judges for critiquing. Solos need to be memorized; ensemble music doesn't.
I was involved in one cello solo, one quartet, one cello choir ensemble, and I accompanied a viola quartet on piano... and I destroyed my solo because my mind went blank after four pages and I stumbled like a crazy woman and took the music back for the cadenza. I got the worst rating.  It was pretty irritating because I skipped lunch at school five days a week to practice since I received the piece and I did better when I first sightread it than I did performing. Anyway... performers! What are some of the worst mistakes you've made onstage or during competition? |

well im in the school band... colourguard and when we performed in hawaii....at pearl harbor, during Taps Eternal Father, half of the band started going too fast while the other half was still like 3 measures behind. it was horrible and embarrassing (( our band is over 200 ppl, so they had one director in the back end and another director in teh front end)).
also... in hawaii, at the holiday parade in waikiki i couldnt hear the roll off and missed the step off... but the captain missed it too so i didnt feel so stupid. let me tell you it was horrible... this was infront of thousands of ppl. everyone loved us though. also last year at our concert... in the beginning of our routine, i haulted 2 beats late.(our colour guard is like the military. we do rifle drills and all that... just think of the british guards, thats what we do.) ive had singing solos, but never messed those up. when i was in 5th grade i played the clarinet and got to play a solor at our holiday concert and i messed up one note and wanted to cry afterwards. no one noticed i messed up though |
