So last night I finally got to go to one of Travis' concerts! It was great and he was amazing! :) I have a funny story from the experience, so I thought I'd share it with you.
The auditorium was fairly crowded, so I ended up sitting down with no open seat buffer zone. The older man to my left was chatty, and when I sat down the conversation began...
Before the concert started.
Man: So are you with the band?
Me: Yes, my husband plays the euphonium in the band.
Man: The euphoriun?
Me: you-phone-ee-um
Man: Oh, euphonium. What's a euphonium?
Me: It's like a little tuba. He'll be sitting in the back row.
Man: I used to know a couple of people who played... the bassoon?
Me: Oh, the long, skinny instrument that's tall?
Man: No, no, it's big like this. (man proceeds to demonstrate how it looks to play this big instrument)
Me: Oh, I think you mean a tuba.
Man: A tuba? Well, they both played it, but then she retired so they could have kids. I think it's a bassoon, though...
During intermission, right before the second half started.
Man: So is that your husband there? (points in Travis' direction)
Me: Yes, that's him sitting between the trombones and tubas.
Man: So he switches instruments, right?
Me: No, he just plays euphonium.
Man: No, I think I saw him switch instruments.
(Band members begin sitting on stage to start the second half.)
Man: See? There's two tubas, he switched instruments.
Me: No, there are two tubas and he's sitting next to them with the smaller instrument.
Man: Oh... He switched seats.
:) I thought it was so funny... Maybe you had to be there?
