I was at a rehearsal for a conductor's workshop today, and was HORRIFIED at how stupid people are!!!!

The set up was not good....I had to sit near the edge of the stage, and there was a lot of Beetoven, and Brahms symphonies (not #2) being done today, so I was at liberty quite a bit. My horn was standing on its bell.

At one point one of the conductors was talking to somebody while next to my horn, and as I looked closer, I saw that he was actually standing on my bell!!!!! Another brainless conductor (I know, this is a redundancy!), actually picked up my horn and moved it!!!! I'd like to see him do that with a violin! After nearly killing these dolts, I inspected for damage, and forunately, there was none. I just can't believe how oblivious these people are!

This leads to my reason for this posting: Does anybody have similar stories of stupid people, abuse, or otherwise damage to your instrument at rehearsals?
