Don't know if this really qualifies as "musical" talk, but I heartily enjoyed not only this clip, but also the comments that viewers left for it.

If you do a Google search on this poor woman, it fills pages! It makes you think about what you and how it may impact your future!

Bless her heart. That's a tough way to discover that the trumpet is not in concert pitch. She didn't seem to notice though.

I'm not sure she ever discoverd that fact... as she kept on playing in the wrong key

Hey Mojo,
Please don't punctuate your sentences that end with a url because that breaks the link more often than not. I get a 'malformed link' message when I click on your link. It should have been:

Oops, didn't read the whole thread. My bad!

It's possible that the tape player used at the pageant was set at a different speed than the tape player she used to practice this "routine." You could get away with that to a certain extent with a singer, but if you do that to a trumpet player (especially someone who probably can't transpose), you'll get a very out of tune performance. I think the dancing/choreography is even funnier than the atonality.

Wow! Sounds like you have a lot of experience with this pageant thing! I've never known anyone involved with something like this so I guess my tendency to give someone the benefit of the doubt is misplaced in this case (although I guess it's still technically possible that the tape player used to practice this "performance" was at the wrong speed and the tape player used at the pageant was at the correct speed or key).
