Worst Preperation Ever?

Sign in to disble this ad
Right, so..

Today, i arrive to music class to be told we're preforming in front of 50ish people. I've missed the last few classes, which are once a week, for various reasons.
We hadnt chosen a song yet.
We picked one me and the guitarist (who had to borrow a guitar, incidentally.. managed to get a 60's telecaster from somewhere, though o_O) which for some horrific reason was year 3000 by busted *cringe*

anyways, we followed some guy that did this amazing piano piece.. then our singer told us he wouldnt sing in front of all the people. so, we were announced as an instrumental. the guitarist said he'd mumble the words to the drummer so he'd know when to change, but burst out laughing just into the first verse. Que stopping.

I did the only thing i could think of, which was walk over to the mike and tell the crowd that the singer wouldnt sing for them, and they all ended up chanting his name, so he came on to stage, annouced he had no singing ability, then sang. All was well (ish. the bass amp was dropped the previous day, so i sounded seriously thin )

Oh well, it could have been slightly worse :P

I like how you got the crowd to peer pressure the poor guy!
