Lost Saxophones in Bakersfield
On Friday at 6:45 p.m., after a small jazz set at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, I walked toward the Rabobank Arena parking lot and realized my Saxophones weren't in the tan hard-shell case by the back seat. Those instruments have traveled from rehearsal rooms to campus stages, and losing them left me feeling exposed and a little hollow. I retraced the route from the loading dock to the side doors, checking every car and bench along the way. The night air smelled like rain on Bakersfield pavement, and the memory of a rough sound check kept returning to me. If you saw a tan case with two saxophones, please think back to where you might have seen them nearby.
Lost sheet music near Buck Owens Crystal Palace, Bakersfield
At around 3:15 p.m. yesterday, I realized my sheet music for a recital was missing after rehearsals at the Fox Theater area in Bakersfield. The stack is a small bound book with yellowed pages, labeled 'Concerto in C' in my handwriting, with a few pencil notes on the margins. I had last tucked it into the top drawer of my messenger bag by the Buck Owens Crystal Palace, but by the time I reached my car near 19th Street, the book was gone. The melodies felt heavy without it, and the thought of someone else finding it warms me a little, hoping they’ll play it in their own way until I’m reunited with it.
Sunburst Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
I lost my sunburst Fender Stratocaster electric guitar yesterday around 3pm near the Valley Plaza Mall parking lot off Stockdale Highway in Bakersfield. It's a Strat with a white pickguard, maple neck, and a noticeable dent on the lower bout; it also has a red guitar strap with a faded 'ROCK' patch and a small cartoon-cat sticker on the back of the headstock. It was a gift from my late grandfather and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] and we can work out a quick pickup; I’ll gladly offer a reward.
Red Yamaha 5-piece drum set
I lost my red Yamaha 5-piece drum set yesterday around 3pm outside the Rabobank Arena on Truxtun Ave in Bakersfield. It’s a mid-2000s kit with some wear: a few scuffs on the bass drum and a small dent on the edge of the floor tom. The bass drum head has a Nirvana sticker, and the snare rim has blue painter’s tape with the initials 'JP'. It means a lot to me—my mentor gave it to me when I started playing, and I really need it back to keep jamming.
Lost blue MIDI synthesizer with custom sounds and minor scratches at a music festival in Bakersfield.
I lost my blue MIDI synthesizer while attending a music festival in Bakersfield last weekend. I'm really anxious to get it back because it has some of my custom sounds saved on it. It has a few scratches on the side but still works perfectly. If anyone has seen it, please let me know!
