The best street performing experience I have had, is when I was given the opportunity to perform at a wedding. I was approached when I was busking, and was asked if I was interested in the gig. I ended up doing the gig at a lovely flower garden in Melbourne. I played a range of styles from classical music to pop music and it was great fun! I have since become friends with the bride and groom!
Once, when I was playing in the Cairns Concert Orchestra I attended rehearsal as normal. While I was at the rehearsal, my bow broke and I didn't realise until after the piece. My former violin teacher turned to me and pointed to my bow. The whole orchestra saw what had happened, and everyone was watching me... At least I had a spare bow to use! Phew!
I have dropped my violin once... Somehow it was okay! But other than that, nothing has really happened. There is currently no name for my violin either.
