While this occurred in a concert band, it is a cautionary tale for
assistant conductors.  While playing the overture to LA GAZZA LADRA, the
euphonium section decided beforehand to speed up, slow down, etc. at will
with a part consisting of repeated eighths (quavers?).  The assistant
conductor was on the podium giving rise to musch hilarity as he blamed
section after section for the instability never guessing the euphs were
contributing the flutter: )
