I'm a choir person, so I'm naturally biased toward singing groups when listening to an orchestral setting. Then again, I've often been part of the singing group behind the orchestra, so the bias is a bit more understandable.
That said, tonight's Magnificat and other works concert was stolen by one person: Ruth and Her Amazing Oboe. We wanted to make posters. We wanted to do the wave. We wanted to yell "More oboe!" but we figured Ruth would get upset if we yelled during her oboe solo.
There were a few other highlights as well. In no particular order:
Michael's Abercrombie shirt and kilt, complete with knife in the sock
Michael's trenchcoat that hid all but the socks, making him look like a streaker (or Eytan in A Child's Christmas in Wales)
The American-themed bar on Lothian Road
Nachos at Favorit
Ian's Guydar
Ian's budding relationship with Charlotte the Macbook
