CALL OUT : JOIN THE KAZOONITY
Be in an orchestra, 10,000 kazoos-strong.
Weâre inviting Melbourne to take a deep breath, join as one, and release an almighty chorus of kazoo.
10,000 Kazoos is a mass participation event for RISING 2023. Itâs happening in Federation Square, Melbourne, on Saturday 10 June, 4pm, and anyone can take part. You donât need any musical ability or training. Simply stick a kazoo in your mouth, with the pointy end at the world, and send some do-do-dos down that tube.
Itâs uncomplicated. Itâs powerful. Itâs kazootiful.
We will have 10,000 biodegradable kazoos at-the-ready. We just need 10,000 willing noisemakers to join us in the city and play a tune all-at-once, in frenzied unison.
Because, one kazoo? Thatâs silly and fun. But 10,000 kazoos? Thatâs the worldâs largest orchestraâa city-sized pied piper of absurdity.
Will we transcend? Will we break a world record? Will we communicate with ducks on some kind of infrasonic level? Thereâs only one way to find out.
