I have problems just getting four musicians together. They musta invited like 1700 or something: 350 showed, 450 had real good intentions but got waylaid, 270 started to get it together and went "mannnnnnn" and the rest forgot it was today.

When this happened in Toronto it was called Broken Social Scene.

Thanks, chunking express.

Title of musical piece: D-
("100+ BPM"? Seriously? Not even trying!)

Length of video "setup": C
(Too long to get to actual performance, but that's typical of online videos these days)

Intonation B
(Pretty good for an enterprise like this, but still room for improvement)

Musicianship/following the conductors: A
(I've heard less-unified quartets; great communal effort by all involved)

Participation, esprit de corps, and sheer Fun Factor: A+!!
