Out of tune orchestra

Can someone remind me please.

O.K. folks no need it`s the Portsmouth Sinfonia

Er, remind you of what?

Thousands of orchestras have played out of tune at some time or other, so which particular one are you thinking of? (My mind is immediately taken to a performance by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, which I intended. Our local Boys' Brigade band could have done better than the brass section did that night!).

If you're seeking a really disastrous performance, during a state visit, look no further than here:

If you're looking for a band which deliberately parodied many popular classics (often by playing out of tune) perhaps you're thinking of Spike Jones and his City Slickers?

Oh, sorry, you were posting while I was typing.

I should have remembered the Portsmouth Sinfonia but I still commend that Youtube video to you. It's incredibly dire, or incredibly funny, depending upon your point of view ;-)

For Buenchico - I see your Russian orchestra and raise you the Portsmouth Sinfonia:

At least I can honestly say that no matter how badly my own band may have played, we have NEVER sounded that bad!
