I play in my school orchestra. I have shitty health. I take medicine every night to ensure I don't suddenly die. (Over exaggerating here but they're necessary).

Usually we aren't allowed our phone on stage, but alas, I'm really fucking stupid and I forgot to leave it in the break room. I go on stage. I play. Everything seemed so well. I swear I was doing such a good job. First time I played so fluidly. Midway through the concert I feel a buzz in my pocket. My alarm for meds went off. I left my instrument with my friend and ran off the stage to close it. Came back, finished the whole concert after doing my best not to fuck up.

My friends found it funny.

Random people came up to me after to say seeing me mysteriously run off was amazing.

My classmates promised nobody heard anything.

People are trying to reassure me that nobody would remember.

My teacher is thankfully not mad.

I am still very, very mortified.

TL;DR: TIFU by not leaving my phone and having my alarm ring mid concert
