An unfortunate but amusing video of a musician sneezing into his trombone during a concert has become a viral sensation. Check it out below. 

Poor guy. Held at St Luke's Parish Church in Tiptree, Essex, the clip shows the plucky trombonist trying and failing to hold in his sneeze. We've all been there, admittedly it's usually without a brass instrument in our mouths. The result is a bewildering fart sound that startles listeners, but the band and conductor continue without flinching.

Now THAT is professionalism. So far, the video has had 1,038,518 views.

For any paranoid brass players with sensitive sinuses out there, Youtube user Patty Beatz offers some advice: "I think the correct thing to do in a situation like that would be to decrescendo down to nothing quickly right when you feel the sneeze coming. Then remove the horn from your face and sneeze, that way you don't ruin the moment."

Thanks, Patty Beatz.
