That, my friend, is an airplane. Those spinning things are propellers, not feathers. (All in good fun, I hope the he-- you knew that...!). if you watch the video the "opening hit" is a bird hit "PLAY" :) Edited February 8, 2017 by George Dixon clarification 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That long pointy line, they move the point from top...to bottom... Whaaa? You're saying that was actually designed to be a bird's wings moving? Like an artist would draw birds at the seashore?? Or what a kid might see while laying on his Dad's station wagon roof watching the birds overhead and dreaming of being able to fly? OMG, seriously, George? wow. I'm exhausted.

Love, love, this opener Honest question: what was the last opener that did this, with the whole ensemble playing the entire piece from start to finish? Nowadays, it's almost obligatory to lead up to a big hit, and follow it with a (sometimes minute-long) percussion feature before the brass comes in again.
