Crazy Imagination I Have

Cardistry Choir or Orchestra

So, I was at my girlfriend's choir/orchestra performance last night and I had this idea pop in my head to have a cardistry choir and/or orchestra. I was picturing a choir with 20+ people in it all doing the same moves, flourishes, and even color changes in unison to music.
And for an orchestra, there would be a number of small groups doing the same moves (in the same way that the violins, woodwind, etc. are grouped together), but it would all come together in the big picture.
It would be crazy because every performer would have to be flawless in everything they did.
And imagine soloists stepping out and doing the best flourishes for a minute or two!

Then I thought, "what if they made all this happen at MagicCon or something?"
Anyway, I was imagining all this last night and this daydream definitely made the 2 hour event go by a lot quicker haha!
I'm not sure if anything like this has ever been done and I don't even do much cardistry, but again, it was a fun thought and I wanted to share it with you.

Thanks for reading,

Greg, your idea is not too far fetched as most "swing" bands and competition bands do actually perform in this exact manner. They flip, twist, toss, and flourish with their instruments. Now, that being said, I have never seen an orchestra do it but it could definitely happen.

That would be sweet! I love the idea!

I really like your idea. However it could be really hard since it's nearly impossible to find some cardists in my area. I could definitely see this happening in the future when more people would be into it. Most magicians that go to my magic shop aren't into cardistry by any means.
