A Trumpet Sectional... and Eva Took My Trumpet...

I remember only the last bit of the dream. I won't be as specific as I normally am, giving location of instances in the dream. Although it'd be simpler if I could draw a map of the building's floorplan. We were in the middle of a trumpet sectional with Rob. My brother I believe was there too with his trumpet. I had set my trumpet down. Eva went to practice something on her own. Then I couldn't find my trumpet or mouthpiece. Nick made some comment, saying "typical Andy..." So everyone laughed as I searched where I put my trumpet down the minute beforehand. I picked up and pocketed one mouthpiece on a side table (against the wall). It was like a very large French Horn mouthpiece. I looked at one trumpet sitting on a table, but it wasn't mine. I checked Erin's trumpet, she smiled and had her own. I think I found my mouthpiece on a table. Then I basically realized that Eva had probably taken my trumpet and hers was the extra one here (which was of course nicely polished, unlike mine). But I was still hesitant to bring her the one I thought was hers due to fear of overconfidence. So I walked towards the front of the building. Through a hallway to the main lobby. One of the front doors was a medium large black door with a small window where I could see Eva practicing/doing marching band warmups. Walking with high legs at the time (Frankensteins). It was like [my] driveway she was on with grass on the right. Not exactly the front of this giant church/auditorium building. I opened the door and called out to her. She picked up the trumpet and started walking walking toward me saying "I don't think..." and then realizing the side had all the polish worn off so it couldn't have been hers and was definitely mine. We laughed and I might've apologized for not bringing the her trumpet (actually I don't know/am skeptical if I said that, I definitely thought it though, just not sure if I said it). We then started to make our way back to the trumpet sectional with everyone else. On the way back through the building a giant mass of people appeared behind us and from the hallway to the rest of the trumpet section. Behind us someone asked us if we knew the fastest way to a certain room. I apologized for not knowing. They then passed us and started heading up this dark green smooth rock wall which I hadn't realized was also a cool thin staircase (not a safe design, but very unexpected and interesting architecturally). I looked curiously at it as we passed the wall sided staircase and went to the main lobby (instead of the entry hall). The giant mass of people emerged from the hallway to the left where we were headed to. They might've been wearing mostly black cone to think of it. I think there were very stoic faces. The stopped, and then started filing into all the medium sized conference rooms line up on the wall facing the front. The dream ended about here as we were still walking to the hallway with the mass of people in front of us.
