    Remember one of the biggest goosebump moments of the 2008 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony that was held at the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest? It was the moment when 2,008 drummers played the bronze Fou drums and sang the quote from The Analects of Confucius written 2000 years ago: "Isn’t it delightful to have friends coming from afar?” to welcome friends from all over the world. Enjoy watching and tell us your favorite Olympic Memory in the comments.

    A someone who used to do military drills, coordinating a few hundred people already required a ton of training. The fact that they've somehow managed to get over 2000 people to line up so perfectly in their movements is amazing. This takes incredible discipline and practice.

      if you don't have experiencing any Olympics Opening Ceremony in real life.. i told you each row of seat have Volunteers & Cheering Guide take a part to leading the audience.. they always ask audiences to clap, to waving a flag or turn on the lightstick, to scream and to do waving, to stand up for the anthem.. its happened with Athens 2004 too when audience start a clap during Solo Drummer performance.. also, go watch Beijing 2008 Full Opening Ceremony, you will see at the beginning there have the Volunteers teaching audience how to clap before Opening Ceremony has started..

      Not to denigrate their performance, but they have earpieces (which, tbh, how else could you coordinate 2008 of anything). Hopefully those were cranked up nice and loud :)

      the "wrong tempo" is caused by the time it takes for sound to travel. so the sound from the audience and the sound from the drums reach the camera at different times.
