They each try to find the highest relative vantage point, like cats?

I have problems just getting four musicians together. They musta invited like 1700 or something: 350 showed, 450 had real good intentions but got waylaid, 270 started to get it together and went "mannnnnnn" and the rest forgot it was today.

That was cool, especially the second half.
Thanks, chunking express.

Title of musical piece: D-
("100+ BPM"? Seriously? Not even trying!)
Length of video "setup": C
(Too long to get to actual performance, but that's typical of online videos these days)
Intonation B
(Pretty good for an enterprise like this, but still room for improvement)
Musicianship/following the conductors: A
(I've heard less-unified quartets; great communal effort by all involved)
Participation, esprit de corps, and sheer Fun Factor: A+!!

This was going to be my next post after the 24 hours had passed. I'm glad to see it got here regardless. Sheer fun and joy in the video, and a super project all around. Thanks, NPR for doing awesome things and bringing them to everyone!
