Phantom of the band hall

Friday October 13th, 1979. EL Paso, Texas;

The stadium lights bounce off the golden instruments held in the hands ofHoover Valley's fightn' Panther band. The drum major says a quick prayer hoping to give the band some good luck. The major raises his head only to see the band in formation ready to do good tonight. The major raises his hands and in three counts their horns snap up. One count and their off, feet moving in step, all seems to be going right. The band directors smile and rant on about how ample their band sounds and looks. When suddenly a Tuba player missteps, and in the process trips, causing the Tuba to split in half and the bell to land on the soloist Trombone. The band stops abruptly and runs toward their fallen superstar to form a circle.

The band directors attempt to cut threw the swarm but are unsuccessful.

"BAND-TEN-HUT!" the worried band director screams . The band snaps to attention. The band is much easier to cut threw now that they are completely still. When the band directors arrive they notice the Trombonist is squished by the bell of the Tuba, and blood drenching the dark green Astro-turf. They manage to rip the bell off, though ripping the top part of the maroon and black uniform they notice the heat of the lights reflecting off of the tuba caused the tuba to become extremely hot. Causing the Tuba to melt the left half of the Trombonists face. Though his eye was completely fine his cheek bone was broken and his jaw was cracked. The band director hurriedly pulls out his bulky cell phone and calls for an ambulance. About five minutes later an ambulance arrives with a rickety white stretcher and three field doctors. The band was then called at ease and was instructed to go sit in the half- empty bleachers. Before they band begins to walk a trumpet player then yells mockingly,

" You might need a shovel to scoop up that guy!"

The band director gives him an evil glare, and the trumpet player runs to catch up with his group of fellow trumpets. The Drum major comes up only to see the bleeding carcass that was once a star Trombonist. Suddenly the boy has a spasm as the EMT places a neck brace around the knocked out boy.

" What happened?" Asks the EMT

" A T-Tuba split c-causing t-the bell to l-land on h-him." says the band director with a crackle in his voice. The EMT sighs and says,

" So it was an accident."

" Y-Yes," replies the band director. The assistant band director holds the band director and begins to move him backwards away from the mangled boy, but the band director resists. The boy reclaims consciousness, and opens his eyes slowly. Only to see his Stradivarius Trombone dented and the slide about five feet away from it. Tears begin to engulf his eyes, but he keeps the emotion hidden behind his light blue eyes. He looks around once more to see his band director falling apart with the emotion ripping at his heart. The EMT grabs the orange board and places it on the ground. At about this time the band director passes out. The EMT reaches for his radio to tell the hospital to dispatch another ambulance for an unconscious emotionally challenged band director. The EMT's already present scoop up the boy and roll him onto the orange board to put him on the stretcher. The boy blinks twice and slightly sniggers at the sight of his passed out band director. As he attempts to smile he stops and flinches in pain, and is raised onto the rickety stretcher. As they roll off of the foot ball field the EMT then says,

"Hi my name is Andrew and I'm helping you today. If you are not sure on what just happened a burning hot Tuba bell fell on you causing the left side of your face to burn so bad that you started to bleed. Oh, by the way your band director passed out and will be in another ambulance shortly and I think you will be in the same room as him. Now prepare for a slight bump as Bubba and I lift you into the ambulance." The stretcher shakes some but makes it into the ambulance.

"Hope that wasn't too bad can you tell me your name?" Andrew says plainly. The boy tries to speak but is unable, he tries to shake his head but realizes he is in a neck brace.

" OWMMNN" Moans The Trombonist. The engine starts and the stretcher shakes a little bit. He suddenly drifts back to sleep.
