There were a bunch of kids playing in the orchestra at school. They were going along in one of their many pieces for the up-coming competition, and were all a little nervous about how they were doing. It was easy to say they weren’t playing quite as well as they should.
Well, as they were going through the piece, the director caught a B-flat in the second violin second. He stopped the whole orchestra, and yelled at them “B-Natural!”
They looked at each other, nodded, and they started playing again. When the violins came to the same part again, they played a B-flat, and again, the director stopped them and yelled “B-Natural!”
They were all silent for a moment, then the girl who sat last chair replied, “We’re trying to be natural, but you keep stopping us!”
