British wackiness
Apparently, each year, there are a series of classical concerts in London that are a Really Big Deal. They are called the Proms, and the last one is, well, lanning says it best: "an inexplicable mix of classical music, firecrackers, horns and funny hats."
Two examples:
(I think it's funny that they didn't bother to synch up the outdoor crowd scenes, so their mouths don't go along with the words. Also, that there are a few non-British flags being waved about in the crowd. I think I recognized Norway and Germany.)
Also, in weird classical music news, for the first time ever on this planet, Klingon opera will be performed.
