Bassoon Christmas!

So, you may recall that my post last week about Christmas music I love and hate included a brief reference to an Oberlin Conservatory tradition known as "Bassoon Christmas." And naturally, I shot the link for that post to a few old college friends who participated in said event. And, as always seems to happen in the world of Facebook, this sparked an intense round of reminiscence, which eventually turned up more than a few old photos...

The gang's all here! That's Oberlin professor and Bassoon Xmas
mastermind George Sakakeeny in the upper right...

Believe it or not, she somehow recovered from this
to become a professional orchestra musician...

...and, more importantly, actual audio of the 1997 version of the Oberlin bassoon studio in all their dweeby holiday glory!

There's a lot more where that came from, but you'll have to go here to hear it. Anyone know of other similar holiday traditions featuring music nerds with too much time on their hands?
