I particularly like it when the tubas swing their horns in unison with the cadence. And when the conductor leans over backwards and touches his long flowing locks to the floor right at the big chord at the end (especially in a big work like Beethoven 5...yea!). Oh yea, and one other thing. It would probably look best (and sound better too!) if the oboe player never took the instrument off of his/her lap.
Toodles!
