But it was early music, and these were conservatory kids, so they had to scramble to pull it off. Then a soprano and a tuba player got up and performed “Pur ti miro,” and my co-TA and I made the mistake of looking at each other and that was the end; we shook and wept with laughter all the way through their performance. And I should add, the tuba player was playing his heart out…which just made it funnier.
