Today, I was preparing to perform with my marching band at a competition. Right before we went on, a tuba player friend of mine offered to help me stretch. He wound up snapping my bra. I'm a drum major, and had to conduct the entire show while my boobs were falling out. FML

Today, in marching band, the guy in front of me backed up too far. As we turned, the back of his trombone hit mine, smashing it into my lip. I had to finish the song, sending blood down my horn. FML

Today, I was in band rehearsing for a big concert coming up. Since the band was practicing with the orchestra and there weren’t enough seats, we had to stand. My back was facing everyone when my friend tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to my ass. I got my period and everyone saw the stain. FML

Wardrobe malfunction

Today, I performed for the first time at someone's wedding. When the music started, I heard a click. Slowly, I felt my strapless bra drop lower and lower due to my non-existent breasts. The hook on my bra had broken at that very moment on stage. FML

Today, during my choral concert, I was helping turn the pages for the pianist who was accompanying the singers. In the middle of the song, one of the pages slipped and fell into his crotch area. In a panic, I frantically reached to grab the music. Well, I grabbed something. It wasn't the music. FML

Today, I had one of my biggest dance shows ever. After months of practice I had finally gotten the lead position. When I entered the stage and raised my arms my straps fell down and I flashed an audience of 5000. FML

Today, while I was on stage dancing for a competition dress rehearsal, my top fell off, exposing my breasts. I was really embarrassed, but fortunately no one said anything about it. That is until a kid in the audience came up to me and said, "That was a disappointment." FML

Today, I came to work with a huge hangover after a night out. I work as a marching band director, and guess who I had to conduct a sectional with? That's right, percussion. My head still hasn't stopped throbbing. FML

Today, I had a music duet in front of a crowd and 3 judges. I play tuba and my partner plays the saxophone. He burst out laughing in the middle of it because one note that I played sounded like a fart. FML

It's a wrap

By victoria - 04/04/2021 21:30

Today, I had a school band concert in which I was doing a clarinet solo. I had a Laffy Taffy before the concert. Little did I know part of the wrapper got stuck in my hair. I went through the whole concert like that and I was so embarrassed when I found out afterwards. FML

Stealing the scene

By Silverfeathery - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff

Today, during a moment of silence in front of the entire high school during my band concert, I managed to hit the stand with my flute, and loudly scrambled to catch it before it fell over. I've never had so many people look at me. FML

If your uniform is like most marching band uniforms, they should be well-covered anyways =p

Okay, im in band with this girl, and need to clear up some things. 1- this did really happen. 2- if you think that marching is easy, go do it yourself. We have to play like the New York philharmonic while running a marathon. Slightly exaggerated, but you get my point. It's at least as demanding as high school varsity sports. 3- yes, we do use tubas. NOT sousaphones. The tubas are concert tubas that have a lead pipe. 4- Her boobs were not falling out of her uniform, but jiggling around while shewas conducting. 5- the DMs wear the same uniforms the band members do, just different colors. 6- YDI for being in marching band? Get a life.

Not all DMs wear the same uniforms. My school has them dress up in suits and black 2-piece top and skirt combos.

what i don't understand is why people think marching band is so easy. i'm marching in a college marching band, after 3 years of high school marching band, and believe me, it is even harder. telling people YDI for just being in marching band, you need to just fall off the face of the earth. you have no idea what we do everyday during practices, sectionals, performances (games and competitions), plus anything else we are asked to do, like parades. don't believe me? Youtube "Pride of Arizona 2009." you know, one of the top five marching bands of 2008, we're back and better than ever @ OP: that sucks, but thats what you get for letting a tuba player help you stretch.

Haha that sucks! My senior year while conducting our show for Finals of a contest, my bra came undone on its own. Makes it even more fun when you climb off the front podium. Run mid-field to play a solo. Run the the back podium, and then have to run around the end zones to get back to the front. I hope that doesn't happen again. It's so awkward even if people don't notice :)
