A for ...

It's traditional that where an edition uses rehearsal letters, that the conductor has varies ditties to go with each one. I often go for the names of boys because, they like it along with old favourites like, 'L for leather.'. Today we had H for heart attack after one of the trumpets cut the 3rd beat of a bar in a loud bit when he had the tune. Of such things are scary moments made. Thankfully, such things don't happen in concerts. Not that I take that for granted...

You know the cockney alphabet, I take it:
'A for horses' and all that...
