Craziest story for me, I think, was when I was doing my piano jury at Colorado Mesa University, where the professors get together and they listen to you perform one or more pieces that you've memorized throughout the semester, and it was like a 12-ish page long piece that I was playing through, and I get towards the end, there's a bottom of this long scale that I was playing, and as I got to the bottom of the scale, I just blanked. I couldn't remember any of the rest of the song. I just, I don't know, I couldn't, it was just gone. I couldn't remember anything. So they're like, oh, well, try again, just, you know, from a different spot. I did, and it was gone. I just couldn't remember the rest of the song. It was, I don't know, my memory just blanked, and so they just, well, just play a chord, just something to end it. It was really bad, and those things, it's pass or fail. There's no grades. Thankfully, I still passed, but just as a heads up, sometimes that just happens, so you got to be ready to move on and keep trying anyways.
