I hope one day to see a orchestra play but in this day and age who knows if I ever will.

The intro piece was from Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" from "The Planets"

At some point in time, orchestras playing to a click track is going to become normal.

It’s like any band they just know when to end a composition. The Ramones always knew when to end a song.

I was really hoping they were gonna play "Bye, Bye, Bye".

This is one of the must BS videos I ever watched. If you want to understand an orchestra, look some where else.
