🎵 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🎵 It has become evident that we need to reassure our dedicated followers after receiving several ‘dynamic’ comments on social media after introducing you to an unusual instrument. This instrument is officially known as a “Cimbasso,” but it has since acquired several alternate names, such as WHAT IS THAT, WHAT ON EARTH, OH MY LORD, and our personal favourite, the TROMBOOBA. We have also had some concerns about the origins of the instrument – Did Dr. Seuss invent that thing??? The biggest concerns, however, were over the well-being of those that were exposed to the instrument during last Sunday’s rehearsal. We are relieved to inform you that none of our members have been injured while this instrument was being played. Most people seated in front of the instrument are fine, although several of us have had our heads buried under pillows ever since. Although everyone is fine, precautions will be taken to prevent mishaps during future rehearsals and our upcoming concert. Moving forward surrounding members will be provided with helmets, ear plugs, and water repellent jackets. Audience members seated in the first row of the Theatre Auditorium during our concert will be provided with umbrellas as necessary. It seems that ‘Horror Vacui’ is definitely the appropriate name for this concert. Although the original term refers to the “fear of empty space,” we now believe that this definition would best be altered to “the fear of being in an empty space with a Cimbasso.” Do you have the courage to risk exposure to this fascinating instrument? Come to our concert and find out! We promise that attending ‘Horror Vacui’ on Oct. 30th will be RELATIVELY safe! 😉 🎟️ https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/wws-concert-horror-vacui
