“Once more from the top,” was never taken out of context so completely.
A wayward parachutist crash-landed into a military band at Fort Riley in Kansas. (Insert the “We aren’t in Kansas anymore” joke of your choice here).
Among the casualties are three members of the band, a trumpet, and two tubas. The military musicmakers are expected to be OK and the trumpet, we believe, is going to pull through. Sadly, the tubas weren’t so lucky and are now part of that Great Military Band in the Sky.

Where’s the love for the dead tuba? Come on people!! One of the saddest stories I’ve ever read on GoS.
