During summer band before my freshman year, oh-so-many-moons-ago, each band member was measured for his or her new uniform, a process that was carried out after each day's rehearsal. Every day after band, a section or two or three were called individually into Mr. Lewis' glass-enclosed office, where we had to "assume the position" to be measured from head to toe and around various regions of our anatomy by a male measuring-tape-wielding employee of the uniform company, who then called out the numbers to his male assistant to write down.
As it was, the whole process was exquisitely embarrassing for some of us girls (and probably a few guys), but it was made infinitely worse by certain members of the trumpet and percussion sections, who perched themselves just outside the office door and in very loud, clear voices "helpfully" repeated the measurements for the benefit of those fellow band members who might not have caught the numbers...
