One year a freshman mellophone player was on homecoming court. We march into the pep assembly, put our instruments behind the bleachers, and take them back out for the parade. This girl was riding in a car because she was on court, and left her mellophone in the bleachers. The bleachers get closed back, plus one mellophone, and everyone thinks it has been stolen. Fast forward two months, and they open the bleachers for a basketball game, only to discover the mellophone. (The resemblance is uncanny, this is what inspires me to tell such a long story.) the girl is fined $600 in repairs and long story short she's not in band anymore.
