I call this librarian fail.  His part should have been organized so there was no need to turn a page at that point.

@OctaveCCrow That's the editor's job. :P

would make a good iPad sheet music page turning app commercial.

he should have internalized the music through memorization instead of mechanistically reading it at a distance.

This is a Timpanist Win

To be fair, I think all of us musicians have had this happen to us at one time or another during a performance lol

He played fine. You can see that he and the guy in the back play together, and they play rolls one after the other. He doesn't miss his roll

[sitixone]

bueno pero para eso esta el director. si ya ensayaron se la sabe.

This isn't a fail! His head is out of the music, and he proved it!

[kierungg]

Please someone make him to know the ipads ...

@CharlesDMusic He does know it though. He kept on playing correctly and if you look closely he has the bottom corner of the part folded to make that page turn easier. He has clearly thought it out. It's just that accidents happen.

it's better than the concertmaster of our orchestra and my music blew off stage...couple feet away...guess who had to get it...ON STAGE WITH PEOPLE LOOKING. awkward moments.
