The saying 91裸聊视频渕usic soothes the savage beast91裸聊视频� was put to the test at St. John91裸聊视频檚 Academy in Shawnigan Lake on May 27.

Over a period of several days, a black bear had been attracted to the smell of the school91裸聊视频檚 trash cans, which are kept outside in a wooden structure and not accessible to wildlife.

In response, the academy had restricted the movement of students to avoid the area where the trash cans are stored until the bear finally realized it wasn91裸聊视频檛 going to be able to get at the cans.

But the bear was back at it again on May 27, and music teacher Tristan Clausen had a clear view of the animal from his classroom window.

RELATED STORY:

He said one of his students left the classroom through the outside door, but quickly retreated back inside when she saw the bear.

91裸聊视频淚 have a saxophone, a trumpet and a trombone behind my desk, so I grabbed the largest one that could make the most noise, which was the trombone, and started playing it as loud as I could as I walked toward the bear,91裸聊视频� Clausen said.

91裸聊视频淚 was thinking at the time that I should have learned the A&W theme song beforehand. Apparently, the bear didn91裸聊视频檛 care for my playing because he ran into the woods and I haven91裸聊视频檛 seen it since.91裸聊视频�

Clausen said he wasn91裸聊视频檛 scared during the incident.

91裸聊视频淚 wasn91裸聊视频檛 far from the door, but I could tell that the bear was frightened, which is why I wasn91裸聊视频檛 frightened myself,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淭he bear just left the scene after he saw me and heard me play. This is a rural school, so you never know what could happen. Bradley Myrholm [the academy91裸聊视频檚 director of academics] said I was a legend and I don91裸聊视频檛 know about that, but I do intend to keep my trombone close by in the future.91裸聊视频�

The incident was captured on video.
