The first half of the show ended with the 1812 overture and TooShy provided much hilarity by being caught totally unaware by the cannons and levitating off her seat several times in quick succession :)

*gapes* How can you be caught totally unaware by the cannons in Tchaikowsky's "1812 Overture"? Unless, of course, you'd never heard it before... I adore the cannons! The best recorded version I've heard of it is one by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Charles duToit, with digitally enhanced cannons. *grins*

She was distracted by the neice at the wrong/right moment (depending on your PoV) :) There was much giggling :)

Ah, yes, the distraction provided by small children, I see. :-)

"Digitally enhanced cannons?"

Is that legal?

Boston Pops all the way, baby!

No, digital enhancement. You only get wee pops from Boston. ;-)

Ah, no, I was asking "What are Boston Pops?" :)

Oh! Sorry... the Boston Pops plays mostly lighter music. :-) Until recently, they were conducted by John Williams, he of "Star Wars" & other movie themes. Check the website
