Today, I had my last orchestra concert and had a large solo. My dad came to watch and record it; however, the whole time he recorded another girl, thinking it was me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my family and I were about to watch the video my dad took of me walking across the stage at my high school graduation. Turns out he recorded the wrong kid. FML
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, being a music student, a professional orchestra performed a symphony that I wrote and dedicated to my girlfriend. It took months to compose and it the first and only time it was ever going to be played. My girlfriend forgot to come. FML
Today, I was with my girlfriend and she was making me listen to one of her recordings for chorus. As I was listening to it, a solo came on, and i turned to her and said, "This is the worst fucking solo I've ever heard in my life." Little did I know, it was her solo. FML
Today, I had my final piano performance. There is a guy in my class who constantly tells me I suck at piano, so I was looking forward to watching him play badly since he never practices. Instead, he played the most beautiful music that would make Mozart weep. He got a standing ovation. FML
Today, I was at my little girl's concert. She plays the clarinet, and in the middle of her solo, her phone started ringing. She decided to stop, check her phone, and continue playing. FML
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML
Today, my alcoholic dad finally came to see to my last dance recital after years of never showing up to watch me. He got kicked out of the audience for snoring too loud. I could hear him from the stage. FML
Today, I was performing in an orchestra concert. My stand partner and I commented on people in the audience the whole time, saying how fat they were, etc. Towards the end of the concert, I realized we were sitting right by a microphone, and the whole audience could hear us. FML
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

How does he not know you?!

He didn't even notice you when you were the only one playing? That is impressive parenting.

Maybe he didn't have a good view or it was bad lighting. Or he barely even has a clue as to what his child looks like. Either works.

perhaps the father has bad eyesight and could not see clearly?

I'm sure the orchestra hall was so packed that he had to sit at the very back and could not see that far away

Wow... When was the last time your dad saw you before this?

maybe he was sitting pretty far back and had a bad camera.

It's not like he was looking through the camera the whole time, but ya he might have been far back.

Ya the type of camera has nothing to do with him filming the wrong person.

Creepy as it may sound maybe your dad was thinking with his flute instead of his conductor...

I had the same thing happen -.- except my teacher put all the seniors in my class at the front of the stage and he THOUGHT he was recording me...with the lens cap. But my teacher referred it as our "solo"

That could just be the excuse he used and did it purposely.. only because he wasn't thinking with the head on his shoulders. >_
