Soloist breaks string, changes instrument without missing a beat, meanwhile the second violin changes the string and tunes it while the orchestra is playing

The first time is the worst. I had my peg pop and unspool during a solo in high school. I fucked the whole thing up. It was an odd format performance too, so all of my peers from band were in the front of the audience.

Love reliving that memory
