I was asked, at almost the last minute, if I could play tube for 2 songs at a Christmas program this Saturday. I got the music last Friday. I usually practice at my parents house but we're not really on speaking terms right at the moment, so I had to practice at home.
I just moved into an apartment. Yes, I know, not the ideal place to practice a tuba but I did make sure my neighbors, the ones I could recognize, at least, were all out and about at 2 in the afternoon.
I guess somebody was still there because I got a letter from the office saying one of my neighbors had heard an animal in my apartment and since I hadn't paid the pet deposit, I was going to have to add the animal to my lease or face a $400 fine and possible eviction.
Now, I realize I may occasionally sound like a dying elephant when I miss a note but an animal? Really?
I'll be taking my tuba case up to the office in the morning to find out what the pet deposit is for a large, shiny brass instrument.
