German knickers as opposed to French knickers.... and we were in hysterics the evening the conductor told the French Horn players to make their puddles over the kettledrums so we could have tea at half time.

(for those who don't know, there is a little lever at the bottom-most curve of a french horn (that's the bendy one you cuddle)that opens to let out the condensed water/dribble that builds up over a performance. Our horn players had created such a large puddle at the previous rehearsal that it had ducks on it....)

I like the idea of Orpheus in his underpants - I've also had to sing straight faced through the Dream of They're onto us.... with a particularly loud alto section.....
