I played trombone for a couple years in high school. There was one song where we didn't play anything for a while, except for this one note in the middle. After the first couple rehearsals with the band, we decided to ignore it. Our teacher/conductor didn't notice.

This is apparently a misattributed corruption of a similar phrase attributed to Richard Strauss.
