      The thing is what if this was in a horror movie?- Like, imagine your car breaks down so you have to walk through the woods but you witness those 5 basses playing Pink Panther so you and the crazy killer out in the woods, play the pink panther game just tip-toe away as quick as possible.

      Scene: The Woods.
      You are unaware that you are being stalked by a bear. "The Pink Panther" arranged and performed for five Double Basses plays in the background.
      Enter clearing (stage left) where the five piece Double Bass ensemble are playing "the Pink Panther".
      Stop. Look confused. Break the fourth wall by looking at the camera and shrugging.
      Exit clearing. (state right)
      Sounds of bear attacking quintet behind you.

      The phrase "alarm goes/going off" means that something has tripped its alert mechanism, which can be a sound, flashing lights, or something else. When I was a child, this phrase confused me whenever I saw it in a textbook. It made more sense to say "the alarm is turning on" instead of "going off", but that's one the quirks of the English language.

For instance, a musician with poor taste would probably try to add loud distorted guitar to a Sunday afternoon cafe trio.

    What impressed me the most was they weren’t tapping the beat with their feet. I was in band for many years and in most pieces, I still have tap my foot to the beat to not go offbeat. Would have probably been caught on the mics if they had, but still very impressed. Plus all sound coming only from the cello was awesome to “see”. Bravo. Encore for a pretty pink kitty. 🎻🎻🩷🩷

She's holding hers the same way you'd hold a violin or cello bow, over the top, parallel to the bow. That's the French grip.

    A magnificent tune interpreted with double basses and out in nature, it gives the melody the realistic meaning of the Pink Panther theme. The double bass quintet gives a radiant sparkle of an unexpected surprise in the woods. The acoustic pluck gives resonance to the melody. The string players have a great synchronised exchange of communication. KUDOS to the musicians and the composer!
