Beethoven meets the penalty box, station identification, and inane commentary ! ! !

Orchestra's attempt at one-upping the music-sport of marching band?

@semarcus1 Well, the Hall is Stude Concert Hall at the Shepherd School of music at Rice University, but the cheerleaders have university of houston apparel; I guess it could be an in-town rivalry game :)

Schickele adds some visual bits to the 40+ year-old recording of "New Horizons." I'm curious who "Orchestra 'X'" is; they're a young group who plays beautifully, gets the humor timing very well, and resists the urge to smile when they're part of the act. Much of the audience still misses the humor in calling the horn player "Bobby Corno" and the oboe player "Highwood" (hautbois). In what year was this video taped? Schickele remains in top form decades after he first "discovered" P.D.Q. Bach.

Being an orchestra nerd, this made me laugh SO hard! So many jokes that non-musicians just can't relate to...

if you watch closely at 00:02 on the crowd on top, almost everyone jumps even though some are covering their ears. that $&*^ is loud!

@DublinPhilharmonic wow don't be so bitter. Learn to appreciate this for what i is - comedy - or don't watch it at all.

I love this idea of instant replay! Why don't we always have that at orchestra concerts? I'd like to see that in some Stravinsky pieces...
