I should, shouldn't i?
I imagine the answer is boring and practical.
Whereas it is more fun to soeculate.
It is a little pillow so the player can micronap while waiting for their entrance.
Or an oxygen mask for playing at altitude. Please put your own on before assisting the trumpet section?
Or an inflatable life raft or overboard dye pack to assist a water helicopter rescue?
