Imagine seeing her play with Dimmu Borgir???? They would rock like nobody's business!

[TheFuzzyFool]

The actual playing starts just past 2:00 ish :) She/they. are amazing.

She must love her job.

@cbkuhlman you're not a true musician if you don't love it! skill does not make you a musician, it's the dedication and creativity!

[cbkuhlman]

@xxxslayerxxx666 I know. I was talking about the fact that so many people adore her, which probably somewhat motivates her even more to do what she does...make people happy.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@cbkuhlman yeah.

i wonder if a dress is as hard to play in as a tuxedo i never have played in a tux but the first time i wore one i couldnt stand it

[leonard03]

@caveman15100 I can tell you from experience.. playing in a tux definitely SUCKS. Especially for percussionists. Sometimes, if you are not careful... The stick gets caught and easily messes up your playing! But as far as the dress i am not sure :p but different tux's and dresses can have different playing experiences

Hi @lozziecap, they just did it out of enthusiasm for an encore

[lozziecap]

Very, very good. But I wondered: Do orchestral musicians always stamp on the stage like that or did they do it especially so you could feel it?

[joschneider1]

@lozziecap Musicians within an orchestra or wind band will often acknowledge a member of the ensemble's excellence on stage by tapping their feet on the stage. It is similar to the audience clapping to acknowledge a soloist's performance. basically to say 'good job' and provide encouragement during the show
