What's in YOUR bag?

We have all experienced this before:
You are running to make it on time for a gig // lesson // rehearsal // concert and one of these things happen:

You feel terrible and are losing your voice
Your nails are too long
You spilled coffee on your shirt
It's too hot out and your shirt has huge sweat stains
Your phone is about to die and you need directions on how to get there
Your string broke and/or you forgot your mute
Your student forgot how to count... AGAIN

Don't worry. This list will save your life and provide help / relief in these situations.
