...find this to be a breathtaking performance.” Beyond the exceptional amount of time required to practice this orchestral masterwork, the four groups have also had to jump over logistical hurdles in their preparation. “It’s almost kind of an unwritten fire-hazard to get everyone on stage,” says Christine L. Barron ’09, the current president of HRO. The roughly 300 members of the combined groups, as well as many large instruments, including eight tympanis, must all fit on stage at the same time...

As a member of this covenant I'm sworn to secrecy on matters of timing and mechanics - the technique, for example, for avoiding the dread occupational hazard of "confetti arm." But I am permitted to quote a few of Treb's dicta. Confetti dispersal, he intones, "is a physical, violent act," a therapeutic exercise that will purge, Treb says, "all your aggressions from 2006." (He knows us so well.) We are to remove wristwatches, bracelets, rings, necklaces and other gewgaws that...
