Wouldn't do that now

When I was in high school, an orchestra in which I played had a particularly good first half of its concert.  Pleased with this momentum, I didn't just walk back on stage near the end of the intermission.  I hopped over my double bass.  As a teenager, I didn't think twice about whether this was appropriate.  I can't imagine doing that at age 49, though.  Somehow, I doubt that the St. Louis Symphony bassists hop over their basses when returning to the stage.
