Ouch. $185. Not counting laughing at conductors jokes (as they ARE funny) and foot tapping. Friend and I engage in bell waving instead, which isn't listed, unless it counts as univited conducting?

Well, I'm not in any orchestri, but I do have the annoying (so I'm told!) habit of tapping my bass pedal in between songs at band rehearsals - not actually hitting the head, but just waving t he beater around... It makes a very satisfying clicking-and-squeaking sound, which apparently the other band-members don't like... Can't think why!!
The last time I played in any classical-type ensemble even remotely resembling an orchestra, however, the conductor (who also happened to be my clarinet teacher) got sooo frustrated with my foot-tapping that he asked the person sitting next to me to place their foot on top of mine!! |

Looks like I need to speak to the bank manager to arrange a loan to pay off my fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Yes, I am that person who follows the adage "Take three pencils to rehearsals, one for you and one each for the person either side of you". |

You can usually tell a piece of music I've played by the copious amount of scribble on it (and I've got large handwriting)........ |

And several permanent markers, for if the rest of the section ask if you have anything to write with!!" Well - it's their own fault for not bringing their own stuff! |
