What is your best 1812 Overture story?
I have played the "1812 Overture" countless times. One of the last times that I played it was in a college gymnasium. The music department of the college borrowed the starting cannon from the local yacht club. It used an 8-gauge shotgun shell blank. When it came time for the cannon, this thing went off, and it made me jump out of my chair by at least 3 or 4 inches... maybe more.
There are two other stories that I know of. Both took place in a major theater. One involve ping-pong balls, and the other involved pillow feathers being released from the scaffolding, through ceiling panels that were high above the orchestra seats.
Let's hear some other stories!

It will... burn your mouth, make your nose run, make your eyes water, make your head perspire, and make talking a real challenge.
