Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 22, 2018

Get down with the beat.

Without the orchestra it might as well be a class of mimes.

Beethoven’s 5th squat rep.

A fitting tribute as we near the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth.

Oddly enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have one of these in New York City; they have exercise classes with your baby, cat, spouse/boyfriend, bungee cords attached, tap shoes, naked, painting… Check out this page: https://www.timeout.com/newyork/fitness/weird-fitness-classes-in-nyc-everyone-should-try-at-least-once

Add some goats and hot yoga and you may be on to something.

They stretch like Lady Yo-gaga.

Nothing to shake a stick at.

I have the triangle and napping until I get my cue.

Having worked in community theater that does operettas for many years, I have come to respect the conductor and the strength and endurance they have to have to conduct for almost 3 hrs. with hardly any breaks!

Actually, statistics tell us that orchestra conductors live longer than any other occupational group….. Perhaps such an exercise class is not such a silly idea!

Sweatin’ to the really oldies!

The thing is, this actually exists. It was created by the conductor David Dworkin. See here: https://youtu.be/HYlXRkI3Sis
