04/26/10 Grif.Net – Conductor’s Worst Fear

He was a mediocre conductor of a mediocre orchestra. He had been having
problems with the basses; they were the least professional of his musicians.
It was the last performance of the season, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, which
required extra effort from the basses at the end. Earlier that evening, he
found the basses celebrating one of their birthdays by passing a bottle
around. As he was about to cue the basses, he knocked over his music stand.
The sheet music scattered.

As he stood in front of his orchestra, his worst fear was realized. It was
the bottom of the 9th, no score and the basses were loaded.
