Did you collapse from nervousness? Are you serious? Wink

After re-reading my post, I thought you might have collapsed from the sleep-response created by my diaphragm breathing technique!

Tell us the story!

I'm rolling on the floor laughing

JM,
I have boys 9 & 11 now, so I can just imagine one of them sitting at the piano bench passing out from blowing long tones! Laughing

I know it must have been embarassing, but when you're 40 it'll be a lot of fun to laugh about. ORRRR...are you 40 now?

I marched with a baritone when I was in 8th grade. We did a 2.5 mile parade in Knoxville, TN. When we were back to the bus I literally put the horn on my body, laid down and passed out! It was a hot late April day and I was drenched in sweat. Everyone else was so worn out also that no one noticed for a few minutes. Finally, mom & dad found me, put a drink of Coke down my throat and I started to come back to life. By the time I woke up, everyone was standing around me in a circle Embarassed
