Made my day!

So…
I’ve just started into Tech week for Titanic:The Musical (Broadway type musical theatre)and this musical is either going to sail on smoothly or sink faster than the ship. It’s a huge show (56 Actors, 22 Pit Orchestra, 16 crew, a moving set and only 3days to figure out how to turn this into a show) and I can see the fleet of icebergs (problems, technical difficulties, etc) lined up like an invading army on the horizon…. :shout:

Well today as the orchestra was loading in, we hit the first iceberg. We get a text message…
“Tympani went down elevator shaft” 😮 😮 😮

*cough* *sputter* *stare at each other in disbelief*…. 😮 and then burst out laughing, in that overtired (I’ve gotten maybe 5hrs of sleep in the last 2 days), OMG, I don’t believe this, I have to laugh or I am going to cry kind of way.

We thought a drum went down the the elevator shaft. Turns out it was only one of the casters. Apparently, the drummer was a little too enthusiastic wheeling it out of the elevator and got the wheel caught in the door gap and wrenched it off and the caster fell down the elevator shaft. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings…. 😈 😈

Lol! I could just see the drum as it disappeared down the shaft. Good thing it really was only a wheel. Still, it’ll be a PITA to roll that thing around anywhere.
