Today, I marched in the St. Patrick's day parade. My horn has an inconveniently-placed spit valve that has to be drained frequently. At the end, I discovered every time I emptied it, it would spray all over the front of my pants. I marched an entire parade looking like I pissed my pants. FML

If your city's parade and drinking celebrations were anything like mine - you definitely weren't the only one that pissed your pants

Just blame it on being drunk! St patricks day eh!

A couple months ago, my school's band and i had to take a pic for an ad and my baritone leaked an entire river on me. My band director thought it was so funny he didn't tell me. :l

Was it the one in Chicago? Mello player, totally understand

Are you experienced enough to be playing in a marching band haha if you've practiced at least once you know exactly where the water will exit your instrument. ( 8th year playing trombone)

Actually I've just picked up Bari sax just a few months ago, I normally play alto

clarinet my friend, is the only way my fellow band geek!

I have the same problem with my trumpet, sad part is, I play the solo at football games so everyone can see me and the stained pants

As a fellow horn player, I feel your pain brother.

Okay how the **** have you been playing long enough to be marching in a parade but don't know where your spit valve empties? Did you not notice it during rehearsals?

As a trumpet player in marching band, I totally get you OP. That really sucks, but at least your fellow horns know the truth!
