Yeah, that isn't annoying or distracting at all. But hey, as long as the bandos like it....

haha...but on the other hand, there is choir conducting. Haha, it's so good to have a passionate conductor in ANY form of group that requires cues/tempo control/dynamic swells etc...and even more so, a conductor that can pull faces to keep the spirits of their orchestra/group up is one i love. The reason i mentioned choirs though, is that i have had my experiences in choir where the conductor has pulled a face so weird that i couldnt sing the song as i was laughing so hard. Its a good thing it wasn't a professional concert haha, but yes...it makes me not think about mistakes i may make throughout, and also a conductor seems to be one who helps with 'mind blanks'.
