[@candleflame4355]

[@user-dj8gy7ky2y]

[@gordonfrancisblaneyjr.4805]

I am now able to die, as a composer, knowing what a bassoon choir sounds like.

[@vyingforlife]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

[@KokoMcMonkey]

I don't think I've ever seen that many bassoonists in one place at the same time. Great performances. Nice to see the whoopee cushion take it's rightful place in the woodwind ensemble ;-)

[@maxderman447]

How many thousand dollars do you think are in that room?

[@maxderman447]

Guessing at least 200

[@dansemacabre8684]

At least 400 : there are 16 bassoons and 2 contrabassoons (alone worth around 60 thousands)

[@candleflame4355]

[@crystalbarbour8412]

[@allenfromseattle]

I am adding this right next to my P.D.Q. Bach collection.

[@JayBassoon]

Awesome performance yet again. Would be cool to share this on Rainn Wilson's FB page and ask him for an apolgy while reminding him that we have the force of numbers and CLASS on our side.

[@marcushjorund]

If you sant to play bassoon so do it!! Even though it's much easyer to switch from oboe to english horn

[@kaylasmileheart12]

I have to agree, in numbers, but the woodwinds can be pretty load, except if one is to load the they could break something on the instrument c:

[@kaylasmileheart12]

I want to double on bassoon, but people say I should double on English horn because not many play it. What to do, decisions decisions

[@brendanlucas4316]

Double as many as you want

[@Duo_1713]

This is why you play bassoon

[@shemarcollier3457]

[@kmb-_-3104]

Very disrespectful to be laughing during performances... if you knew you couldn’t act right you absolutely shouldn’t have gone.

[@aubrimccanna7153]

Why you laughing that was perfect

[@jasonlund5949]

Some of them are completely not in unison. Holding those not waaaay too long.

[@marcushjorund]

[@JakeReinert]

Lol, I sound like the whooping cushions on bassoon. xD

[@kaylasmileheart12]

Female bassoonists c: For the win. We got this... even though I play the Oboe c:

[@MeeisAlex]

1 person broke wind and sufficated themselves.

[@scubamarilu]

Laughing = ignorance.

[@barbaratyler2183]

Your comment=ignorance…most people find the whoopee cushion as a percussion choice, amusing 😂
