Great video Allen! There are some great acoutics in that building eh? The instraments really reverberated nicely throughout the video. The piece was very well performed too! What's the story behind the bomb at the end of the vid?
Teamwork- A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
The story of attempted practical jokes between the Cambridge and Hampshire Guitar Orchestras goes back some time and the original story of Derek the Duck (in that same shot) is lost in antiquity, but it seems that the Duck is passed on to this year's host in similar fashion to the lighting of the Olympic Flame (next year, Hampshire will come to Cambridge and we'll be presented with the Duck again.) We presented Hampshire's Musical director with a fizzing bomb after our show, complete with a background of an improvised Pink Panther theme (the idea taken from Clouseau's line in one of the later films - "It's a berm!"); I think it would have worked better if we'd got it on the front of the stage during their performance. Oh, well.

Congrats Alan!
And thanks for the video.
:D
Wow man, great!!! Sounded like an entire symphony in there!
In Space, no one can hear me sing!
Good stuff Alan. Things like that, the "behind the scenes" stuff makes it all the more fun for you guys I'm sure.
