The woe of a conductor
A probie member of my choir made this joke after rehearsal:
A famous orchestra conductor was going to give his final performance before he retired, and he chose Beethoven's 9th Symphony as the piece he wanted to go out on.
But he couldn't count on the basses in the choir, because they all went out in the hours before the concert and got plastered
But there was no helping it
The concert went ahead as scheduled
And for most of the performance the basses did fine
It was okay
It was good enough for the event
But near the end of the piece they just started missing notes right and left.
Infuriated, the conductor slammed a fist down on his stand.
It toppled and the music sheets went flying
Suddenly, the conductor realized his worst nightmare had come true
It was the bottom of the ninth, no score, and the basses were loaded.
That is all.
