I did the Geographical Fugue in high school. Freaking hated how slow we took it.

Aww! You can't do that piece slowly. I feel for you.
At a choral festival during high school, I heard a choir do it (we did "Valse" during my senior year). That choir started out with all the voices singing very straight and seriously; the final entrance in the exposition was the tenors, and they broke out with this outrageously faggy "Trinidad!"...complete with effeminate gestures and facial animation, while the rest of the choir continued to play it straight. It was hysterical. Every time the tenors came in, they performed their part the same way. It made a clever piece really entertaining. The whole audience was in stitches.
