Conduct Us

Improv Everywhere put a Carnegie Hall orchestra in the middle of New York City and placed an empty podium in front of the musicians with a sign that read, 'Conduct Us.'

Random New Yorkers who accepted the challenge were given the opportunity to conduct this world-class orchestra. The orchestra responded to the conductors, altering their tempo and performance accordingly.

This was fun. Some people may wonder just how crucial a conductor is, but if you've ever sung on a choir or played an instrument your realize you almost can't perform without them.
