Wardrobe Malfunction

Last night during Porgy and Bess I heard a snap and my cummerbund unhooked. This happened about 10 measures before my big "Summertime" solo. I leaned forward up against the padded table so it would not fall into the ground. I managed to remove it and put it between the foam and table and finish the piece. When the piece ended I rolled it up and put it in my pocket. The next piece was Ave Maria and I performed the piece without the commerbund. The next piece was Largo and I didn't play that piece so I went off stage and put it back on.

Just another day in the life of a performer...
