1. Wonderful!

I love it!

Did I see Jeff Goldblum there with a child on his shoulders?

2. Some "musical flash mobs" fall far short of what they had almost certainly intended to do..This...

... was not one of those -- it was incredible!!!

I especially loved the children dancing and/or conducting the orchestra, although my favorite was the little girl
who stood near the conductor motionlessly... apparently enveloped and captivated by THE AWESOME (though
she seemed to almost magically disappear sometime during the last 12 seconds of the finale).

I noticed the drummer was the only one who required a roadie. Ain't that just like a drummer?

5. That little girl was awesome!

She just stood there, feet from the musicians, mesmerized by the whole scene and seemingly lost in the music.

Loved the little girl who climbed the pole conducting.

Thanks for sharing that trof!

8. Absolutely spectacular

great find, trof.

Oh and I don't think that was Jeff Goldblum but I know exactly who you meant Frogmarch. He was pretty darn close!

I've suggested this to our local pops orchestra.
