How Embarrassing!--Prompt 9

My most embarrassing moment in life isn’t that funny actually but it was the most embarrassing moment of all time. So here is the story, I decided to join the school band my Sophomore year and it was awesome. I was the band timpanist and so I was the loud kid in the band since the timpani is pretty much loudest percussion in the whole band. The audience could always hear the timpani and so they could recognize your mistakes.
Well, we had our Dinner Concert in March and every one was there. I was so ready to just start and get it over with. The conductor started tapping the beats and so I started playing. After a few seconds later, I realized that I was the only one playing. I looked at the other kids in the band and the audience, and they were all staring at me. I then turned to the conductor and finally knew that he didn’t want us to start yet but he was just tapping the sticks to get everyone’s attention. This is the main cause of why I don't want to join a band again in my life!
