In Cleveland, a guest conductor was driven crazy at rehearsals because at least one member of the orchestra was always missing. After the last rehearsal, he tapped for attention and said, "I want to thank the first violinist publicly for being the only man in the entire orchestra who had the decency to attend every rehearsal."
The first violinist hung his head. "It seemed the least I could do," he said in a deprecating tone. "You see, I don't expect to show up for the concert tonight."

Q: What did the drummer get on his music test?
A: Drool.

An orchestra member calls in to Symphony Hall one morning and asks to speak with The Conductor. The operator tells him "I'm very sorry to inform you the Conductor passed away this morning." He apologizes and hangs up.
A few minutes later he calls again, asking to speak to The Conductor. Again, the operator informs him of the conductor's passing, and he hangs up.
Several more minutes go by and he calls once more. The operator, by now a bit exasperated, says, "I've told you several times, he DIED this morning."
The fellow replies, "Yes, I know, but I LOVE to hear you say it."
