I've been playing in public for 55 years and I have never heard anything like this or done anything like this. Has anyone? Is this a setup?

There is no good way to handle that... but this was certainly among the worst.

Well.... I farted once during a long rest.

Geeeez Dan, I sure hope it wasn't loud enough for everyone to hear
But it is perfectly acceptable as long as you are in front of the percussion section

This exact same thing happened in a concert I played in last April.
It IS proper manners to cover your mouth if you sneeze, but what do you do if your are holding a trombone??? Both hands are holding the horn, you can't even use your shirt/jacket sleeve either
I still don't think that using the mouthpiece of your horn to cover your mouth & ruin the piece with a trombone blast is acceptable

I hope you quickly turned to look at the bass trombone player with a sour face!!

This was on The Soup on E! last night. His punchline was something like "why did I choose this career when I knew I had a trombone allergy!"

I hope it was in tune and rhythmically correct. If it was outdoors, you could blame it on a local animal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9GU4P-1AWI" target="_blank
