This is a video of a man conducting an orchestra for the first time. It’s a fun watch.
He writes about it here. That article begins:
I can’t keep my eyes off the orchestra’s feet.
With their hands full of flutes, violins, violas, oboes, mallets and trombones, the 60-plus symphony members are left with their feet to keep time.
It’s a tangle of tapping sandals, hiking boots and Converse All-Stars. One woman taps with the front of her red satin flats, a man across the stage uses the heel of his wing-tips. A few in flip-flops tap with just their big toes, and a violinist in the throes of a finale arches her feet like a ballerina.
Well, if they are all tapping they have a nice additional rhythm section there, eh? ;-)
