I think this is a great idea. What does everyone else think?

Isn't that Jamaica's colors? With all the troubles US symphonies are having, I wonder if they shouldn't take a cue from these guys? They sure seem to make it fun.

How DARE you allude to the fact that orchestras are boring!!! We all know that sitting still for three hours and and trying not to clap in the wrong spots is twice as much fun as half a football game ought to be.

The good thing about concert black is that everybody owns it. If you get called to play as an extra, you have the uniform already. Whats going to happen if Baltimore goes with some custom designed costume and you get called to play extra? Are you going to have to buy the costume too?

I like wearing white tie and tails. It looks elegant, which is what going to the symphony should be.
