Oh give me strength

Concert entitled Lord of the RingTones on 27th Feb at the Barbican.
PlusPoint: it's for children - gets them interested in classical music. This is a Good Thing
PlusPoint: O Fortuna from Carmina Burana which is Good Fun
MINUSPOINT: They can bring recorders and percussion instruments

Is it mandatory? Are you able to sing in chorus with earplugs in? You poor thing. Even Atarah Ben Tovim knew not to let the audience bring their own instruments.

And they've stolen the name from an Orange "don't leave your phone on in the cinema" link...

I believe there was an ancient Chinese saying about the worst thing you can do to your enemy is give his child a drum.

Eeep! Is this something you are singing in? Or just something to experience? Whoever put it together has got to be *very* brave....

Recorders are lovely instruments when played properly - it's just a pity that all anyone ever thinks of is school children squaking with them :-/ But then that *is* a particularly horrendous noise...

*cringe* I can't stop thinking about the opening of O Fortuna being Tootled on Recorders.
it'd be worse than the misheard version (http://www.fuggled.co.uk/choir.swf, Not really work or brain safe)
