- Having a random student sing during a music concert practice
“This might be one of my favorites, but last year, during music, we were practicing for a concert. This one song, we couldn’t find a singer for so we put a random student and the rest of us had to play guitar. We tried and out and the whole time, Mr. Tchuate was in the front looking so shocked.
The student had the pitch wrong, the melody wrong, the part of the song wrong, the tone wrong AND the lyrics wrong. In the middle of the song, they asked “Whats the lyrics?” I had never laughed at school more than I had laughed that day. I had tears rolling down my face and I still laugh when I remember Mr. Tchuate’s face expressions. Jaw dropped and pure”
