How many are you used to? My school's program typically has ~75 members, and I don't see any problem.
I'm used to about 20 (maybe 25) people. I go to a small school, so a lot of people doing S.O. is new to me.

If handled properly, a new string breaking that soon could be a manufacturing defect.

Lol, I've been playing cello for 5 years and I've never had a string break. Plus, I only have to tune like every other month, it's really weird, my cello almost never goes out of tune.

Your cello has a spell cast upon it that makes it never go out of tune.

@dxu46 which strings? I use Pirazzi Golds (they're expensive bois but they last quite a while and sound really good on my violin)

Or it just never leaves his house and his house is kept in super ideal humidity and temperature conditions. That or it's actually out of tune and he doesn't notice it :P

@dxu46 which strings? I use Pirazzi Golds (they're expensive bois but they last quite a while and sound really good on my violin)
I use Dominant, and this hasn't ever happened before.
One thing to note is that both times, it happened while playing the three big pizzicato chords in the fast part of Zigeunerweisen (Sarasate). I'm not sure if the way i'm playing it is wrong, but my teacher has worked on upping the volume and clarity of my pizzicato, so if there was a problem I'd think that she'd have noticed it before. I will ask about this in my lesson next week though (performance on saturday though which is a big rip)

also WOW those strings are expensive... buying a set of the strings I prefer already is kind of expensive in my book... but these...
