I always knew Trombones were frightening instruments

At St. John’s Academy in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, a black bear has been scaring students with raids on the waste bins.

Until a music teacher came out and scared it off with a trombone.

Bears are not the only species reported to have run for their lives from trombones. Just saying.

Are you suggesting humans can't bear them either?

What if the teacher had used an Olds trombone?

That’s the same model that Ram Bowen used,

Trombones have their uses in pretending you are something you are not...

I might mention that the worse the player, the more success can be expected in removing bears.
I also might not ever told anyone here, I started on trombone in 4th grade. Since I was small for my age, though, not all the slide positions were available to my very short arms.

Looks like a baby black bear...better watch out as the momma might be nearby!

Our community band did a lot of outdoor night concerts at a train station. No trains stopped there anymore, but many freight trains would randomly pass. Our trombone section picked out the notes for a perfect train whistle whenever one was coming. It was the best thing they ever did. More or less.
