Bob: Well, Mike, I guess you're the concertmaster by default.
Me: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!
[Bob clubs him]
Violist: Where'd you get that, anyway?
Bob: Sent away.
OK, so the exchange at rehearsal tonight didn't go quite like that... but because the regular concertmaster had the opera tonight, and there wasn't anyone else who was confident enough to want to move up, I got to sit in the first chair. It can be stressful, but with spring break at the college, there was almost no one at rehearsal to notice if I was doing badly. So let's hope such a situation arises again!
