High School concert performance. Phil on tenor, trumpet player, trombone player, guitar, me and drums.
Trombone player announces "Sweet Georgia Brown" faster than ****. After the head, the trumpet has the first solo....Phil whispers something in the trombobe players ear and disappears through the break in the big velvet stage curtain that we're playing in FRONT of with his horn. Comes time for his solo and way back, somewhere in the backstage area we hear Phil heading towards us playing some great ****. He can't find the break in the curtain to get back out with us in front so he keeps playing his solo and starts kicking the curtain to try and find the break. You see the bottom of this big heavy curtain bouncing out the entire length of the stage where Phil is kicking at it trying to make his entrance through the break, still playing some great stuff all through this. We were kind of on each side of the middle break in the curtain and Phil finally finds it with his foot. Out comes a brown shoe, white socks and black pants, followed by the rest of Phil right out in the middle of the stage, horn still a blazin'. I asked the trombone player what was that all about. He said Phil just said to him...."I gotta take a piss, be right back."
