To avoid the "puff" you buy shirts that are labeled as "fit" or "slim" or "tailored to fit". They do exist--ask for help in the men's section of any store for help finding slim fit shirts.
THIS IS AMAZING. just watching this gets me back into that feeling you get when you're about to do a performance and during it... there's nothing like that feeling, i LOVE it!! i miss it... i should practice more and get into an orchestra once again :-/
but anyways thanks so much for sharing this!!! never been to carnegie hall so i found the video enchanting =D thanks so much for sharing!!!!
and wow! i've never seen carnegie hall wish i could perform there one day ^^ and the pianist is cool! and will youtube do this again in the future so i can practice ad get ready for it?
hi ben you and yy are awesome you both r my new inspiration for playing the violin.wish i could have been there to see you and the others perform.your really funny and i love your videos and so does my boyfriend .well anyway ur AWESOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey thanks so much for putting these vids together, it's a bit surreal to kind of experience ytsymphony from your perpective. And congrats on the engagement!!! WOOT!
What's cool is that this is all still ongoing....bet yy's lovin it.
Ah yes, Sarah :) I kid you not - I met her via eHarmony the SAME day that I posted my TAGGED video, and we've been in daily contact every day since then. Just got engaged yesterday, actually, and it was recorded as part of the Harmony Film documentary, so it'll be easy for our posterity to relive it vicariously.
Awesome, just awesome. I used to be in theatre magnet in high school, and this reminded me of the feel of back stage and performing. Oh how I miss it. Looks like you had loads of fun!
That's so cool you got to do this! I totally saw you in the performance video too - haven't watched part 2 yet. All that practicing paid off! Congrats =P
Meh, it's blizzarding in Colorado right now..it sucks...Ok I admit, I'm glad that the snow is finally here, but it had taken the snow one hell of a long time to get here..
ANYWAY
THe fact taht you got vids in Carnegie is totally wicked, it must be an awesome expiriance to be there. and Congratiulations!!!
Ok i have to comment again, cause I now saw your vid all the way through xD Those greasy burgers!! ZOMGZ! When I played french horn, those were toootally forbidden because all that nasty gunk could get in my horn, tmi i know, but I'm just uber excited seeing everything in the background, it makes me want to perform again SO BAD!!! Ok, I'm done with being hyper xD
How awesome is this!!! Omg, thank you so much for showing the backstage stuff. This reminds me of when I played my french horn for Northern KY Select band and getting ready. Oh the nerves!! I know those all too well. Ben, you're gonna do great, relax and have fun!! I'm so EXCITED for you!!! In case you couldn't tell xD
Woah 15 hours practice?!!?!? Longest I practiced was only 4 hours XD! Well the performance was amazing and I loved Ride of the Valkyries, which was fantastic! Ring cycle's also good too...
How did you do 15 hours of practice?

It was so cool seeing your huge audience from stage! Thank you for discreetly taking some footage of the actual live concert from the stage!
I missed hearing your signature "drop" sound on this video, though.
Congratulations to you and all of your colleagues for a fine performance at Carnegie Hall. All of those hours of practice paid off!
